What is recorded here

In the interior of a rath (SL012-078001-). This Man-made underground passage is marked as ‘Cave’ at the SE edge of the rath on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. A linear hollow (8.4m NW–SE; 2m NW–SE; D 0.6m) in the SE quadrant of the rath may indicate a collapsed section of the Man-made underground passage. In the SW quadrant there are two further sunken features, another linear depression (10m NW–SE; 4.6m NE–SW; D 0.6m) defined along its NE edge by a low bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.3m), and immediately to N of this, a circular hollow (diam. 3m; D 0.8m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
