What is recorded here

Three separate stone chambers hide beneath the southern half of the Carrowmoney ringfort, each entered through its own mouth and roofed with heavy lintels. One narrow gap opens near the bank, another leads into a six-metre chamber inside the fort, and the third is mostly choked with earth. They never connected, suggesting three different purposes or three forgotten moments when people needed a dry, dark place to keep what mattered. Collapse has blurred their origins, but the stones still hold their shape against the weight of the ground above.

In S half of ringfort (MA109-114001-). Three stone-built chambers (unconnected), roofed with lintels. Interpretation difficult due to collapse. Entrance near bank gives access to a small, narrow chamber. Second entrance in interior of fort gives access to a chamber (L 6m; H 1.4m). Third entrance gives access to chamber, largely infilled.
