What is recorded here
No stone remains to prove the tunnel, only a cross-shaped hollow inside the rath perimeter. That absence is the telling part: whatever was built there has surrendered to soil, water and time. The ridge keeps the shape of a hidden chamber even when the chamber is gone.
Located at the summit of and towards the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. Inside the perimeter of rath (MO019-023----) at NW a N-S depression (L 8m; Wth 3.4m; D 0.8m) with an E-W depression (dims 8.9m E-W; 3m N-S; D 0.6m) across its S end could represent a collapsed Man-made underground passage although no stone is present.
