The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (SL047-001001-). An irregular hollow (L 6m NNE-SSW; Wth 2m; D 0.85m), largely obscured by overgrowth, is visible in the bank of the rath at SSW. According to local information, there is a souterrain here which is said to be roofed with stones.
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).
