What is recorded here

In the NW sector of a rath (GA106-158----). This drystone-built souterrain (L >20.5m), roughly L-shaped in plan, consists of three chambers and two creeps. Access is gained at the SE end of the 1st chamber (L 5m; Wth 1.6m max.; H 1.76m max.) which runs SE-NW. Traces of the side-walls (L 2m) extend to the SE indicating that the chamber extended further in this direction. At its NW end a simple creep (Wth 0.9m) leads to the 2nd chamber (L 7.5m; H 1.45m max.), which also runs SE-NW. Another creep at the N end of W side-wall leads to the 3rd chamber (L >6m) which is inaccessible due to collapse. It appears to run NE-SW.
