What is recorded here
Yes. A narrow stone chamber sleeps inside the Breaghwy rath, reachable through two low lintelled doors at either end. The passage is blocked by soil, but its shape remains clear: a small underground room built by human hands within an ancient earthwork. It may have stored tools, hidden people during storms, or served a purpose now forgotten. The rath still stands around it, keeping the chamber company in the western sky.
Located in a rath (MA040-040). A low raised area (6m N-S; 5m E-W; H 0.35m at W) in W half of the interior of rath incorporates a Man-made underground passage. Two lintelled openings are evident, one at the N and one at the S end of the rise. The openings reveal a dry-stone passage (Wth c. 0.8m; D 0/2-0.3m), which is infilled with soil, and is inaccessible.
