What is recorded here

Two hut sites and a man-made underground passage still mark Cill Eilthín beside the calluragh burial ground. Quern stones scattered nearby suggest people ground grain, sheltered from weather and perhaps tended the dead in the same breath. The underground passage is the kind of place where curiosity and fear meet, a narrow tunnel cut through earth rather than left to chance.

Hut sites (KE037-024006- and KE037-024007-), a Man-made underground passage (KE037-024004-) and a number of quern stones have also been recorded at the site of the calluragh burial ground at Cill Eilthín (KE037-024001-).
