What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise, in wet and marshy pasture. Monument described in 1978 as located in the S side of a mound or possible ringfort (WM025-134001-) is a small opening (dims. Wth 0.7m; D 0.3m) located under a flat slab. The roof slopes downwards and a depth of approximately 2m is detected. This leads into a drystone passage which appears to be blocked by collapse. Monument appears to have been backfilled by 1981 when it is described as a depression with a large scatter of stones. There is a limekiln marked near this location on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map and it is possible that the stones mentioned above belonged to this structure but this is uncertain. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
