The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL025-064----). A shallow curved depression (Wth 1.6m; D 0.45m), probably a collapsed souterrain passage, extends eastwards from the bank of the rath at W for c. 4m and then turns southwards for c. 7m. A circular hollow (diam. c. 5.5m; D 0.65m) noted c. 4m S of the souterrain, abutting the inner face of the bank at SSW, may be associated with the souterrain or may merely be the result of recent digging.
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).
