Caves

In Cahermoyle cashel (CL005-056----), SW of centre. A Man-made underground passage (min. L 2.7m; Wth 1m; H 1.2m) oriented N-S visible through a collapsed roof section (0.8m by 0.8m). The walls are built of stone and are corbelled. A possible creep extends at floor level from the S end. When inspected in 1999, it appeared to be the home of a badger. When Westropp (1901, 281-2) recorded it, he also noted an E-W section which he believed to be part of the one L-shaped Man-made underground passage.
