What is recorded here

Situated on a natural rise, in gently undulating and hilly pasture, with good views in all directions. In the centre of ringfort (WM025-038----) is a long surface depression (L 9m; Wth 2.2m) extending ESE-WNW to a circular depression (diam. 2.5m) at the WNW end, just within the ringfort bank. The linear and circular depressions are defined along the edges by what may be the upper portions of drystone walling. This is interpreted as a subterranean passage leading to the chamber of a souterrain. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 05 September 2019
