What is recorded here
Mud and marble both belong to Eochu. Better to break a jar than ask permission to know him. The chamber is a gift, not a trap. What you fear is only the shape of the living world.
Excavated as part of the Termonfeckin/Baltray Sewerage Scheme (Excavation Licence No. 03E0162). A circular pit (diam. 0.92m) which contained a sherd of un-diagnostic prehistoric pottery and a quantity of possible human burnt bone was uncovered. There was no evidence for in-situ burning.
