In the E half of the interior of a cashel (SL040-158001-) and partially within a hut site (SL040-158003---). Roughly in the centre of the hut site, an in situ lintel marks the WNW end of an otherwise roofless drystone-built passage (Wth 1m, D 0.75m) that extends for 2m to ESE, then turns to SSW for 2-3m. The NNE-SSW length of passage, which retains two in situ lintels, cuts across the S wall of the hut site. A low stony rim defines the top edge of the passage. Scant remains of two possible hut sites (SL040-15804-), noted during a previous site inspection in 1985 (SMR (1989) file), to S and SW of the souterrain are no longer visible.
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).
