What is recorded here

Under the calluragh burial ground at Cill Eilthín, a man-made passage still cuts through the earth beside hut sites and quern stones. People may have walked that dark tunnel to hide tools, meet others away from sight, or carry the dead beneath the living world. The stones above and the hole below belong to one busy place where daily life and death shared the same ground.

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-).
