The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating stony pasture. Indicated only on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a linear feature (Wth c. 10m; L c. 750m), flanked by field boundaries, extending in a NE direction from c. 150m ENE of the mound barrow (SL047-083005-) to almost the Roscommon border. It was levelled during land reclamation and there are no visible remains of the SW half. The NE half is evident intermittently as a slight rise though its NE end has been truncated by a row of bungalows. Killaraght graveyard (SL047-083002-) and the site of a nunnery (SL047-083001-) lie c. 200m to SW.
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).
