What is recorded here

In a grass-covered mound, c. 20m NE of a rath (SL039-088001-). A drystone-built passage (L 5m; Wth 1.3m; H 1m) is aligned NE-SW. A lintelled doorway at NE leads to a second passage which rises to the NE. The roof of a second passage is partly collapsed. A large lintel (L 1.6m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.55m) to SE of the mound is possibly part of an entrance.
