Man-made underground passage in Lusk

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Excavation was undertaken (Licence no. C010) in advance of road-widening. The Man-made underground passage was located external to the ecclesiastical enclosure (DU008-010006-) and consisted of two rectangular chambers connected by a creepway (2.2m long). Chamber 1 (12m x 1.7m) was constructed of large blocks and boulders; a rotary quernstone had been reused as a roof lintel. Pottery dating to the 13th century was recovered from the backfill. The second chamber (2.2m x 1.7m) extended beyond the limit of excavation (O’Connell 2009, 55). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
