The National Monuments Service's description
In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL027-127001-). A stone-built passage (L 4m; Wth 1m; H 0.6m), built into the bank of the rath, extends north-eastwards into the interior of the rath but keeping close to the bank. The passage is intact at the SW end for a length of 2m and roofed with lintels. The remainder of the passage has collapsed.
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).
