What is recorded here
In a blackthorn thicket, at the edge of a natural terrace, c. 50m NW of a Man-made underground passage (SL038-110004-) and within a field system (SL038-110005-). A slab of limestone protrudes from the edge of the terrace beneath which is an inaccessible cavity. This may be a natural feature but given the close proximity of another Man-made underground passage and that it is named 'Man-made underground passage' on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map it is best classified as a possible Man-made underground passage. There is a hut site (SL038-110011-) c. 10m to NW.
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).
