What is recorded here

Located on the NW side of a rath (SL008-012001-). The souterrain consists of an L-shaped passage (Wth top 0.8m; Wth base 1.1m; H 1-1.3m) extending along the line of the removed bank of the rath. The passage extends in a NE-SW direction for a distance of 10m and then turns at a right angle at the SW end and continues for a further 6m in a NW-SE direction into the interior of the rath. The walls are of limestone rubble and the roof is made up of limestone slab lintels the majority of which are absent. The original entrance is not recognisable and the ends of the passage are blocked with earth and stone. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
