The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope, near the shore of and overlooking Lough Gara. The cashel had been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a solid line similar to other cashels (SL046-020----; SL046-021----; SL046-006----) in the surrounding area. A standing stone (SL046-050----) lies c. 100m to NE.
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).
