What is recorded here

Seven metres of drystone chamber stretch north-east beneath Slievefin, hidden inside a ringfort where people once lived. The south entrance remains open, inviting curiosity into darkness that has waited centuries for company. Perhaps it stored grain, sheltered families from storms, or served a purpose now forgotten. The stones still stand firm, holding their secret patient as ever.

Within a ringfort (GA070-034----). Drystone-built rectangular chamber (L > 7.1m), in fair condition, running NNE-SSW. Present access in near S end.
