What is recorded here

In a rath (SL037-074001-), now entered through a small opening on the inside of the bank of the rath at NW. A rectangular stone-built chamber (7m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE; H 1.7m) with corbelled walls and a lintelled roof. The chamber is partially filled with stones at the NE end and has a small annexe (Wth 0.4m) extending from its W corner. A silted-up creepway (Wth 0.55m; L 4m) is evident in the SE wall. At the SE end it turns at right angles towards NE, leading to possible second chamber or entrance. 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).
