What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope, and inside and beneath the bank of rath (MO027-067001-) at N. The rock-cut entrance is a largely an unroofed passage running N (L c. 3m) where it widens into a small circular chamber with a cupboard in the wall at NW. From this the passage turns E (L 5.5m; max. Wth 1.5m; max. H 1.7m) and is roofed with lintels. The bank has been removed where it was built over the Man-made underground passage.
