The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. A circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by the base of a drystone wall (T 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m). The wall appears to have been robbed of stone and what remains is mainly sod- and moss-covered. The cashel is heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs. Another cashel (SL046-021----) lies c. 80m to E.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
