The National Monuments Service's description
This disused road (Wth c. 6m), which crosses a field system (SL032-188004-), is cut into the slope on its SW side and bounded by a low earthen bank (Wth 3m; H c. 0.25m) on its NE side. It extends NE for c. 17m before turning SE where it can be traced for a further 90m.
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).
