The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a rath (SL025-038----). A roughly L-shaped depression (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) with expanded ends (Wth 3m) and stones protruding from the sides may indicate a collapsed souterrain. The shorter section (L 10m N-S) joins the bank of the rath at the N and follows its curved line for c. 19m N-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).
