What is recorded here

In the W half of a rath (SL025-095001-). A stone-lined lintelled opening (Wth 0.7m; H 0.55m), at the base of the external slope of the bank at WNW, reveals a stone-lined lintelled passage extending through the bank in a SE direction and into the interior of a hut site (SL025-095003-). A second opening, partially blocked by a collapsed lintel, is evident in the internal face of the enclosing bank of the hut site at SW. A depression (Wth 2.5m) which follows the internal face of the bank of the hut site SW-NE may be a collapsed souterrain chamber. 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).
