What is recorded here

Situated on top of limestone outcrop that slopes down steeply to the S and W (H c. 15m). An enclosure (WA030-015001-) surrounds the opening (dims. c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) to Ballynamintra cave caused by the collapse of part of the roof. Soils covering the opening were investigated by R.
