What is recorded here

Situated in undulating pasture, in the centre of ringfort (WM018-035001-). A possible souterrain (WM018-036----) lies c. 400m to NE. Not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map or the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Described in 1983 as a long, low, rectangular-shaped mound (approx. dims. 22m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE) of earth and stone which is best preserved along the W side. An opening into a souterrain at the E end is visible by the removal of one of the capstones. This reveals a well-preserved stone built passage running NE-SW. See attached sketch plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 January 2019
