What is recorded here

In a rath (MA103-019001). According to local information, there is a souterrain in the rath. A depression (Wth 1.5-3m; max. D 0.7m) in a raised area in the NW quadrant of the rath may be a collapsed souterrain passage. It curves from the SW, where it is shallower and narrower, to the NE where it terminates against the townland wall which crosses the rath interior. Another shallow, roughly circular depression (5m E−W; 2.6m N−S) abuts the inner edge of the rath bank in the NE quadrant of the interior. However, no structural features are evident to confirm that either of these depressions is part of a souterrain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 October 2022
