Man-made underground passage in Derryfadda

In a coniferous wood, on a slightly raised area on a gentle N-facing slope. A roughly rectangular area (4m N-S; 1.7m E-W) collapsed in the recent past exposing a variety of moss-covered stone slabs lying at varying angles. The largest exposed slab (L 1.95m; Wth 1.26m; T 0.08m), a roof lintel, slopes down to S and rests on other stones, which are leaning inwards or have collapsed.
