The National Monuments Service's description
This stretch of road is a side branch (Wth 2.8m) of the road (SL025-159----) and occurs roughly midway along its length. It extends (L c. 230m) downslope to NW to a church and graveyard (SL025-112001-; SL025-112002-) in Killoran North. The average width of the main track (SL025-159----) is c. 8m but it widens to 12.7m at the branch junction. The side branch is flanked on its S side by a field boundary and on the N side is defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) dug into the side of the ridge.
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).
