The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (SL042-021001-). According to local information, a souterrain here was blocked up in the recent past. A shallow oval depression (7.2m N-S; 3.6m E-W) in the NW quadrant of the rath may indicate its location. A blocked-up opening a short distance to S in the adjoining field may have been the entrance to the souterrain.
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).
