At Ballygreighan rath (SL018-039001-). Centrally located within the interior is a circular sunken area (dims. 7m E-W; 6.3m N-S - D 0.4m) defined by a low bank (ext. H 0.3m). On its SSE side is a gap (Wth. 1.5m) which opens into a sunken passage (Wth. 1.6m; D 0.6m - 0.7m) which extends in a SSE direction for 5m until it intersects with a ditch or gully (Wth. 0.8m; D 0.6m) which extends from E-SE-SSE immediately inside the bank.
