What is recorded here

Half buried in the western edge of a Mayo ringfort, the cave holds two stone chambers joined like an L. The first is small enough to walk through standing, with a ramp entrance and two narrow vents cutting through the south wall. The second stretches longer but lower, its roof broken in places until only three capstones remain set in the dark. Whatever lived above may have used the smaller chamber for storage or prayer, while the larger one swallowed carts, grain or fear when the rain came.

In W half of ringfort (MA121-076001-). Roughly L-shaped in plan. Two stone-built chambers, roofed with capstones and containing a blocked creepway. Ramp entrance to Chamber 1 (L 4.7m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.3m), orientated NNE-SSW, which contains two air vents and blocked creepway on the S wall. Roof of Chamber 2 (L 10.5m; Wth 2.2m; H 1m), orientated N-S, has collapsed in places, with only three capstones in situ. The above description has been derived from D.
