What is recorded here

In a possible rath (CO147-070001-). An opening in the ground, surrounded by stones, leads down to a stone-built souterrain chamber (Wth c. 0.9m; H 0.7m) roofed with lintels. The chamber extends to the E but for safety reasons it was not entered. A roughly circular depression (diam. 2m; D 0.1m) 6m to the E of the opening probably indicates further collapse. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
