What is recorded here

Within the SW quadrant of a cashel (GA104-014----). This drystone-built souterrain (L >9.6m) runs NNE-SSW and consists of a chamber (L 7m; Wth 1.8m; H 0.92m) with a hollow (L 2.6m) defined by drystone walling at its N end. Some 4m further to the N, a linear depression (L 6m), running NE-SW, may be a continuation of this chamber or it may indicate the presence of a second one.
