What is recorded here

Incorporated into the SW section of the enclosing bank of a rath (GA123-037----). Apart from one roof lintel, this drystone-built Man-made underground passage (Wth 1m), of indeterminate length, has almost completely collapsed. It runs NE-SW. Immediately inside a breach at its NE end, a small recess extends northwards off the NW side-wall.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA123-037001
