The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (SL032-161001-). A passage is visible through an opening in the NW and S portions of the interior of the rath. At NW the opening is partially blocked but reveals a passage (Wth 0.9m) sloping down steeply and roofed by large flat stone lintels. The second passage, in the S portion of the interior, is also roofed by large flat stone lintels.
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).
