The National Monuments Service's description
On the N edge of a levelled rath (SL037-003001-). A subrectangular stone-built chamber (2.6m SW-NE; 2.1m NW-SE) with rounded corners and corbelled walls and a collapsed lintelled roof. There is a creepway (Wth c. 0.65m) in the SW wall with a collapsed lintel. This souterrain was discovered in 1985 following the levelling of the rath (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).
