On the lower W-facing slope of a rise. A collapsed opening occurs at the W end of a rectangular chamber (Wth 1.7m N-S; L 5.8m E-W) with a collapsed creepway at the N end of the E side. A second creepway (L c. 2m; Wth 0.6m) at the W end of the S side of chamber 1 leads into chamber 2 (L c. 10m N-S; Wth 2m E-W). A recess is at the S end of the W side of chamber 2. Both chambers are drystone-built and are corbelled to take roof-slabs. Both chambers are high enough for an adult to stand up in, chamber 1 being at least 1.84m H and chamber 2 at least 1.7m (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). A church and graveyard (SL032-195001-; SL032-195002-) lie c. 50m to NE, in the adjoining field.
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).
