The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately E of the centre of a rath (SL033-114001-). The remains of a roughly rectangular slightly raised structure (3.5m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE) defined by an earthen scarp (H 0.2m). A row of limestone slabs (average dims. L 0.2-0.4m; T 0.2m; H 0.2-0.3m) set on edge, are against and aligned with the external face of the scarp on the NW and SE sides. The interior slopes down to E.
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).
