What is recorded here

In a rath (SL016-014001-). Marked as 'Cave' on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. Some collapsed lintels are visible through a hole in a depression (diam. 2m) located a short distance W of the centre in the rath interior. There is another shallow depression (diam. c. 4m) located 6m to SE, which is also probably related to the Man-made underground passage.
