What is recorded here
In the centre of a rath (KE057-046----). The Man-made underground passage is marked by two adjacent depressions, one to the NW and the other to the SE. The rectangular NW depression (D 0.4m; 4.7m x 3.2m) on a N-S axis has a large subrectangular prostrate stone (1.7m x 1m x 0.2m) at its S end, possibly a roof lintel. The space (D c. 0.4m) beneath the stone is filled with bottles. The SE depression (D 0.25m; 4m x 2m) is on an E-W axis and is 2m to the SE. According to local information, a large stone covers a passage leading to some chambers. The openings were filled in for safety. This Man-made underground passage is named 'Cave' on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.
