What is recorded here

The first edition of the OS map indicates a rectangular structure (KE091-041001-), centrally located in the interior of the enclosure. This area is now marked only by a subrectangular depression, 3.6m N-S by 2.9m E-W, with a maximum depth of 1.4m. It is littered with rubbish and features a small opening close to its S edge. This opening measures .55m x .3m and is .7m deep, and it may mark the location of the Man-made underground passage. Cork University Press (1996), no. 672.
