Man-made underground passage in Gortakeeran

In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL025-024001-) close to the enclosing scarp. Largely obscured by overgrowth and disturbed by animal burrowing is a drystone-built lintelled passage (L 4.5m; Wth 0.9-1m; D 0.7m), on a NE-SW axis. There is a displaced lintel at the NE end. 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).
