• SL045-005 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In wet stony pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 33m x 35m) enclosed by a drystone wall (T 1.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.6m). The wall has a rubble core with internal and external stone facing and a basal course of large boulders. Except for the N arc, the wall is ruinous and covered with overgrowth. The interior is very overgrown with trees and bushes. Recorded in 1836 as 'Caisiol, a stone fort. There was formerly an old building in the townland called Caisiol in Irish' (OSNB vol. 1, 479). Several stone field boundaries adjoin the cashel. 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).

L 5.7m; Wth 3.3m) of drystone construction. The W gable (H 1.7m) and the N and S walls survive; the E gable is missing. The walls (T 0.5m at base, 0.35m at top) have a base batter. There is a door ope, with a single flat lintel (Wth 0.85m), in the N wall. There is a small splayed window (0.35m x 0.3m) to the upper left of the door ope and a similar window in the S wall.
