- MA120-007002 Souterrain
Description
In W side of cashel (MA120-007001-). 'A well-built cave' (Wilde 1872, 244). Now inaccessible; identified by three lintels protruding through the ground. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 503.

- MA120-077 Structure
Description
Located in pasture broken by limestone karst. An rectangular stone structure (2.7m N–S; c. 1.5m E–W; H 0.7m) bounded on the W side by a sheet of bedrock, on the N by a stone (L 1.4m; T 0.35m; H 0.4m) set on edge, and on the S by two stones, which support a lintel. The E side is largely concealed by heaps of loose stone but no set stones are evident. The structure appears to be built on the ground rather than set in it. It is poorly defined and largely obscured by rubble. An inspection in 1994 concluded that it is not the remains of a megalithic tomb (pers. comm. E. Cody). The date and function of this feature are unknown and the evidence is not sufficient to warrant considering it to be of any great antiquity.
