What is recorded here

That is the smallest chamber I have ever seen. Half a metre high, perhaps less, with a stone lid set askew across the mouth. Someone built it deliberately, not a rabbit hole or a collapsed root cellar. They made a room small enough to sit inside, then hid it under a rath in County Mayo. The size stops being a mistake the moment you imagine the person who chose it.

Located in the interior of a rath (MA031-050----), close to bank in the SW quadrant. A surface opening (0.4m x 0.6m), bordered on one side by an in situ lintel, reveals a passage or chamber (H c. 0.9m) of drystone construction. A displaced lintel blocks access to the passage.
