What is recorded here
West of the rath’s centre in Tullanacorra, a shallow depression hides a stone-lined void beneath a displaced lintel. The passage is small enough to crawl through yet deep enough to swallow a person whole. It may have served as a seasonal refuge, a burial chamber, or a trap for the careless. The stones still hold their shape, waiting for someone brave or foolish enough to listen.
To W of centre in the interior of rath (MA071-112----). A shallow surface depression (2m ENE–WSW; 1m NNW–SSE; D 0.25m) with a stone slab/lintel protruding from its WSW end. The lintel appears to be the slightly displaced, and a stone-filled void is visible beneath it.
