The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight E-W ridge on the lower S-facing slope of Dough Mountain. An L-shaped souterrain (total L 7m plus) is visible as two collapsed sections of underground passage, possibly with a beehive chamber at the angle, within the NE quadrant of rath (LE008-023001--).

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
