What is recorded here
No visible passage remains, but local memory places a stone-built chamber beneath the rath, its ceiling flagged and its walls corbelled. A pile of logs now covers the opening, hiding what may have been a cellar, a refuge or a room for keeping warm through winter. The earth has taken back the shape, yet the story remains, waiting for someone to lift the logs and test the dark.
In a rath (KE075-011----). There are no visible remains of this Man-made underground passage. According to local information, an opening, which was once visible the NE quadrant of the rath, led into a stone-built underground passage with corbelled sides and a flagged roof. A pile of logs covers this opening.
