The National Monuments Service's description
In the N quadrant of a rath (SL034-179001-). A lintelled passage is evident, adjacent to the inner bank of the rath. The surface of a stone slab is visible c. 5m to S, indicating that the souterrain extends S towards the interior. Described by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (d. 1950) in an undated report as a 'a souterrain, apparently about 18ft [5.48m] in length [which] opens outside in the N.E. corner and runs inward, but it is blocked' (SMR (1989) file).
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).
