In a ringfort (GA005-011----). Neary (1914, 118, no. 40) records that 'the garth [of this ringfort] contains a Man-made underground passage'. All that survives is an irregular hollow (L 6m, Wth 3m), in S half of the interior, which is flanked by two small heaps of stone. It is aligned on a N-S axis and is 0.4m in depth.
