What is recorded here
Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); in a shallow valley. Kinahan's plan (1869d, 27, no. 16) shows a three-chambered structure faced externally with clay. What survives today is the conjoined ruins of two collapsed cairns of stone, one circular (D c. 11m ext.) adjoined on SW by an oval mound (L 12.5m, Wth 7.8m). While the former is featureless, the later contains the wall lines of a passage or chamber. (Robinson 1980)
