The interior is uneven and c. 4m in from the E edge is a natural ridge of rock outcrop which extends N-S for c. 10m. To the E of this ridge the level of the interior is 0.9m lower than elsewhere. There is a souterrain (SL027-110002-) in the NE quadrant. 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).
