What is recorded here

Half a metre deep and nine metres long, a shadow lies trapped inside the rath. The southern hollow still holds stones that may have blocked the entrance, waiting for someone brave enough to lift them. The cave has vanished, but the depression remains, proving that the earth remembers what people forget.

In a rath (MA039-052001). This Man-made underground passage is indicated as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps; it is not now accessible. The location of the Man-made underground passage is evidenced by a linear depression (9.5m N–S; 6m E–W; D 0.5m) in the W half of the rath interior, close to the enclosing bank. At the S end of the depression, there is a more pronounced hollow infilled with stones, which according to local information was an access point to the Man-made underground passage.
