What is recorded here
No visible chamber or chambered passage is present, but the west bank holds a narrow rectangular trench beside a low stony mound. That is all the ground still gives up: a cut line, a heap of stones, and a break in the rath wall where an entrance may have stood. Whatever dropped from that point into darkness has rotted, collapsed or been forgotten. The trench remains sharp enough to suggest that people did not leave the edge of the rath unfinished.
Situated within a rath (CV034-040001-). A narrow rectangular trench accompanied by a low stony mound, projecting into the interior from a break in the bank at W possibly represents the site of a Man-made underground passage.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
