The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL033-077002-) and within a circular enclosure (SL033-077001-). The souterrain is evident as a dugout trench (11m E-W) with a U-shaped flat-bottomed profile (D 0.9m; Wth 2.3m at base). The base of the trench slopes gently down from the level of the rath interior at E and levels out halfway along its length.
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).
