What is recorded here
Cloonymorris holds a man-made underground passage inside the eastern half of a ringfort. Local tradition calls it a cave, yet only a shallow grassed depression ten point four metres long remains visible. The passage may have hidden people, goods or fear from storm and invasion, but time has flattened its purpose into a faint line on the ground.
In E half of a ringfort (GA086-090----). According to local tradition, there was a 'cave' in this ringfort. All that is visible is a very shallow grassed-over linear depression (L 10.4m) running N-S.
