Cave

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

One chamber, one roof stone, one thin breathing hole. A person built the chamber, cut the entrance and departed into the country, leaving the cave behind like a room with no furniture. The angle still points south-southeast, not toward glory but toward continuation. Go down once, watch the roof, come up before dark.
In a rath (MA050-016001-). There is a roughly square depression (8.7m E–W; 7.8m N–S; D 0.45m) in the centre of the rath. A number of large stones protruding from the base of the depression on its E side, and on the S side there is a lintelled opening (Wth 1.05m; H 0.4m) to a Man-made underground passage passage of drystone construction. The passage appears to slope down gently, extending on a slight curve to S or SSE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020
