What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in pasture. In the NW quadrant of ringfort (WM031-048----) are the remains of a souterrain. The exposed portion of the souterrain (dims. L 3.5m; Wth 1.2m) may represent the entrance. The roof of the passage is covered by stone lintels and the side walls are defined by drystone corbelling constructed of small boulders. On the surface to SW a depression runs inside the bank which may represent the remains of a collapsed souterrain passage. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
