What is recorded here

In the W half of a rath (GA114-016----). This drystone-built souterrain consists of two chambers separated from each other by an area of collapse. The 1st chamber (L 4m; Wth 1.6m) runs E-W and present access is gained at the E end. It is currently used as a dump. The 2nd chamber (L 7.6m; Wth 1.9m) lies to the W and runs N-S. Access to it is gained via a breach at N. Some collapsed material at its SW end suggests the presence of a possible creep.
