The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the SSE-facing slope of a drumlin. A SSE-facing opening (dims. 0.7m x 0.7m) into the hillside reveals a rock-cut passage (Wth 1.2m; H 1.3m) with a lintelled roof of limestone slabs. The entrance is mostly blocked by slumps of earth and access is difficult. A small depression (2m N-S; 1.4m E-W; D 0.4m) 5m to NNE of the entrance probably indicates a collapsed area in the passage.
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).
