What is recorded here

Five chambers and hidden crevices may still wait beneath the soil, according to local story. The known passage runs four metres toward the rath bank before closing, while the visible hollow stretches seven and a half metres under growing vegetation. A stone lintel marks the NNE entrance, preserving the shape of a door that no longer opens for ordinary visitors.

In the NE sector of a rath (MA070-121001-). Labelled ‘Cave’ on the first edition (1837) of the OS 6-inch map. A partially overgrown rectangular hollow (L 7.5m NNE-SSW; av. Wth 2m; D 1-1.3m) has a stone-lintelled opening (Wth 1m; H 0.7m) at its NNE end beyond which an inaccessible subterranean chamber extends towards the inner enclosing bank of the rath (traceable L 4m). According to local tradition, the Man-made underground passage comprises five “rooms” with “cubby holes” (possible creeps?) connecting them. Date of visit: 12-05-2025 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy
