What is recorded here

In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL033-059001-), close to the scarp which encloses the interior. A S-facing opening consists of a ramped entrance into a rock-cut passage (Wth 1.3m; H 1.5m) roofed with limestone lintels. The passage extends for c. 10m to the N as evidenced by a line of roof lintels with at least six gaps between them. Two other gaps between lintels are visible just to S of the centre of the rath. 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).
