What is recorded here

O'Connell recorded a caher and Man-made underground passage at this location (OPW), but he was apparently referring to the stone fort located 210m to SW (KE098-062----). There is, however, a small rectangular depression here, measuring .4m x .55m x .5m deep, the sides of which are revetted by slabs set on edge. A series of earth-embedded boulders occur outside it at W, where there is also a low, ill-defined mound, c. 5m in diameter and .5m high. The nature of this site remains unclear. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1476.
