What is recorded here

Located in a rath (MA071-167001-). A Man-made underground passage, marked as 'Caves', is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map in the NW quadrant of the rath. The rath has been levelled but its outline can still be traced. A slight surface depression (diam. c. 5m) in the S half may point to an underlying Man-made underground passage. A large slab, possible a displaced roof lintel, is visible amidst an accumulation of field clearance stones at the roots of an ash tree on the SW perimeter of the rath.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA071-167002
