What is recorded here
Dromgarriff South holds a hidden chamber of small pits, waiting beneath ordinary soil for hands brave enough to ask what they kept.
On slightly undulating arable land bounded by an area of recently felled woodland to the south and Dromgarriff Lane to the east. The pits have been fully excavated and preserved by record.
