Man-made underground passage

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope and within a field system (SL038-110005-). A drystone-built passage (L c. 10m NNW-SSE; Wth c. 1.8m; min. H 1m) built into the natural slope. The NNW end is blocked by a boulder. The passage is roofed with lintels, the tops of which protrude above the ground in places. At the SSE end the passage extends for a short distance underneath a hut site (SL038-110006-) after which it is blocked. Another hut site (SL038-110008-) lies c. 25m to SW. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL038-110003-) c. 50m to NW and a circular enclosure (SL038-110009-) c. 60m to WSW. 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).
