Cave in Ballycummin

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Remains comprise a covered passage (L E-W 5m; H 1.1m; Wth 1.6m) with walls of un-mortared, un-coursed, limestone rubble. The roof is made up of large, roughly rectangular oval sectioned, lintels (av. L 1.9m; T 0.4m). The E end of the passage is blocked with collapsed earth. The W end is walled and terminates in a point. The current entrance, probably not original, is through a gap between the lintels toward the W end of the passage.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL011-070
