What is recorded here
This Man-made underground passage was discovered in 1978 when the landowner removed a large stone flag, which had been protruding just above the ground surface. Through this breach access was gained to a drystone-built passage (L 13.5m; Wth 2.2m max.; H 1.75m) running E-W. An air vent was evident in the end wall at W
(information from E. Rynne). The Man-made underground passage was subsequently sealed up.
