What is recorded here

In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL034-097001-). A linear stone-lined passage (long axis E-W) with a lintelled roof, leads westwards to a circular stone-lined chamber (diam. 1.6m; H 0.8m) which is adjacent to the bank of the rath. Prof. R. A. S. Macalister, in an unpublished report dated 1911, noted that the passage was divided into two by a partition with a lintelled creepway (SMR (1989) file).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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008
