The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL025-095001-). A slightly raised section of the interior of the rath forms a platform for the remains of a circular hut (diam. 8m) which is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) SE-W and by a scarp elsewhere. The partially blocked opening to a souterrain (SL025-095002-) is visible in the internal face of the bank of the hut at SW. A depression (Wth 2.5m) which follows the line of the bank internally SW-NE may be a collapsed souterrain chamber.
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).
