What is recorded here

In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL033-059001-), close to the scarp which encloses the interior. A S-facing opening consists of a ramped entrance into a rock-cut passage (Wth 1.3m; H 1.5m) roofed with limestone lintels. The passage extends for c. 10m to the N as evidenced by a line of roof lintels with at least six gaps between them. Two other gaps between lintels are visible just to S of the centre of the rath.
