What is recorded here

Cave is a man-made underground passage in Tobertelly, County Sligo, Ireland. Local information says an opening to a drystone-built passage was blocked some time ago, leaving a low sod-covered rise about 2 metres wide. The rise extends 10 metres south-eastwards from the rath bank and ends in an irregular stony area with large stones set in a rough horseshoe shape.

In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL032-163001-). According to local information, an opening to a drystone-built passage was blocked some time ago. The surface evidence for the Man-made underground passage now consists of a low sod-covered rise (Wth c. 2m) which extends from the bank of the rath at WNW for 10m south-eastwards into the interior. At the ESE end it expands into an irregular sod-covered stony rise. The SSE side of the rise is formed by a concentration of large stones in a roughly horseshoe-shaped setting. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
