In pasture, at a break of slope at the SW end of a low ridge. An opening caused by a collapsed lintel reveals a drystone-built chamber (min. L 2m; Wth c. 2m; H c. 1.35m) roofed with lintels. The chamber was inaccessible, the opening being covered by a large stone. A sketch plan of this souterrain drawn in 1984 (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney) shows a roughly rectangular chamber (2.6m N-S; 1.6m E-W), with rounded corners, connected via a narrow creepway (1.7m N-S) at it N end to a linear passage (min. L 5.4m E-W; Wth 0.6m; H c. 1.7m). A children's burial ground (SL025-027001-) is c. 100m to E.
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).
