The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture, c. 80m SSE of a rath (SL025-041----) and immediately N of a disused railway line. The remains of a circular hut (9m N-S; 7.8m E-W) defined by a low sod-covered bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m). Traces of internal stone kerbing are evident along the NE arc. There are gaps (Wth 2m) in the bank at SE and N. The interior is wet and sparsely covered with rushes. Partially sod-covered stones are scattered throughout the interior with one group forming a shallow E-W arc (C 2m) in the S half.
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).
