  Description

  In pasture, on level ground with rising ground to S and SW and overlooking Lough Arrow to N. A circular earthen platform (30m ESE-WNW; 28m NNW-SSE) defined SSW-NNE by a stony scarp (H 0.7-0.9m) and elsewhere by a stone wall (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m), incorporating some field clearance material. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and blackthorn bushes. The interior slopes down gently from the centre to N. An oval cairn (3.5m N-S; 5.5m E-W; H 0.5m), roughly in the centre, is partially obscured by overgrowth. Adjoining the W edge of the cashel is a subrectangular area (27.4m E-W; 28m N-S) defined on the N and S sides by sod-covered stone walls (Wth 2.5m), on the W side by a field boundary and on the E side by the cashel wall. The N wall (H 0.5m) is straight while the S wall (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.3m) is gently curved and scarped into rising ground. The interior is level. Another cashel (SL040-182---) lies c. 100m to SSW.
