What is recorded here

In level pasture, at the SW end of a barely discernible rise (diam. c. 10m). A small area of surface subsidence reveals part of a lintel. A partially blocked opening beneath the lintel leads into the SW side of a small oval drystone-built chamber (c. 2m N-S; c. 1m E-W). The walls are slightly corbelled and are roofed with lintels. A small opening at the base of the chamber wall at NE may be a creepway. The interior of the chamber is partially infilled with rubbish. The floor of the chamber appears to slope down from S to N. A rath (SL032-011----) lies c. 220m to WNW. 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).
