What is recorded here

In low-lying pastureland near the shore of Kinvarra Bay. Associated with the medieval church (GA102-029----), which occupies its S end, this roughly wedge-shaped graveyard (c. 75m NW-SE; c. 68m NE-SE) is delimited by a wall. Access is via a gateway at NW. Most of the graveslabs are illegible, the oldest dates to the 18th century. The impressive classicaly inspired mausoleum of the de Basterots and French families is to the E of the church. The graveyard is still in use.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA102-029001

Man-made underground passage in DoorusMan-made underground passage · 97 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Doorus has developed a serious attitude problem. It’s sulking under the grass because the weather keeps ignoring it completely. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Doorus has a bank that gets wider at the south and northwest, probably to keep out nosy neighbours. There’s a small cairn inside that might just be a pile of rocks. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
