What is recorded here

No lab, chamber or hidden chamber exists. That is the whole trick. The chamber is the chamber, the chamber is the chamber, and the chamber is the chamber.

At the S end of Inishgort island and located c. 42m to the S the rampart of a possible promontory fort (GA009D046----), and N of a large storm beach. Recorded by Mr. M. Gibbons, this circular cashel (int. diam. c. 20m; ext. diam. c. 26m E-W; H 1.5-2.5m; H 0.3-1m) is defined by a grassed-over wall. Traces of the outer wall-face, one course high, are visible at NE. A house site (GA009D047002-) is visible in the SW sector of the interior. The SE sector is less well defined and grassed-over walling appears to be the remains of a possibly later building, which overlies the cashel wall. The remains of another later rectangular building (4m x 3m) abut the cashel wall at W. A midden (GA009D048----) lies 7m to the SSW. The following images have been uploaded courtesy of Mr. M.

A circular stone ringfort (cashel) on Inishgort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated near a possible promontory fort and storm beach. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy lore, reflecting their mystical status in Irish folklore.
