What is recorded here

In a rath (KE074-011----). A lintelled opening (Wth 0.5m) in the SE half of the rath leads into an inaccessible underground passage (Wth c. 0.5m; H 0.85m) extending 0.6m to the SE and then turning to the WSW for 2.6m. Here a slumped circular, opening (diam. 0.5m) reveals a corbelled passage (L 3m), with roughly hewn limestone lintels, which lead on to the WSW to an oval chamber (1.4m x 1.2m). From here the passage appears to continue to the WSW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
