What is recorded here
Belview holds a rectangular stone chamber buried inside a rath, its grassed walls barely rising fifteen centimetres above the earth. The missing west side and central depression suggest a forgotten room where people sat, stored things or prayed before the landscape swallowed the boundary. It remains one of three linked structures trapped in green silence, waiting for someone to imagine the life that vanished from its floor.
One of three structures (see also GA100-037002- and GA100-037003-) located within the centre of the interior of a rath (GA100-037----). This one is roughly rectangular in plan (4.6m N-S; 4.3m E-W) and is defined by grassed-over stone walls (Wth 1.5m; H 0.15m) along the N, E and S sides. No trace of the W wall survives. There is a small stone-filled depression in the centre of the interior. This structure is c. 2.7m to the N of GA100-037002- and c. 4m to the E of GA100-037003-.
