Cave

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Cave is a man-made underground passage in Cashelgarran, County Sligo, Ireland. The lintelled entrance measures 1m wide and 1.5m high, but rubble stone blocks it. Un-coursed rubble drystone walling lines the sides beneath limestone slab lintels. The passage extends SE from the entrance, and a 0.7m by 0.7m hole appears 2m further SE in the bank top, also blocked with rubble stone.
There is a Man-made underground passage at Cashelgarran rath (Sl005-106001-). It is situated within the enclosing bank at the NE side, immediately to the SE of a modern break in the bank. The lintelled entrance (Wth 1m; H 1.5m) is blocked with rubble stone. The sides of the Man-made underground passage are lined with un-coursed rubble drystone walling with roof lintels of limestone slabs. The Man-made underground passage extends SE from the entrance and a vent, or simply a collapsed lintel, is visible in the top of the bank 2m to the SE of the entrance as a hole (dims. 0.7m by 0.7m) blocked with rubble stone.
