What is recorded here
West of the Cuillaun rath, beneath the garden of a modern house, a hidden stone chamber waits in darkness. People have forgotten whether it served as a shelter, a treasury or a temple, but the stones still hold their shape under the grass. The residence sits above a buried room, suggesting that human cleverness and ambition stretched downward as well as upward.
Located to W of a rath (MA062-087001-). A ‘stone chamber’ was noted at roughly this location (pers. comm. F. McCann, 1991). No other details were reported. There is no visible trace at ground level. The location now lies within the garden of a modern house.
