What is recorded here

In the N half of the interior of a rath (SL038-083001-). In 1942-4 a souterrain containing three chambers, one of which contained a well, was recorded (ITA). A partially blocked-up opening leads to a water-filled drystone-built passage (Wth c. 0.9m) which extends NE-SW for at least 5m. The walls of the passage are corbelled and covered by roofstones. 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).
