What is recorded here
Five metres of dark clay lie beneath the winter pasture, narrow enough to force a person into single file and deep enough to swallow a voice. It cuts through the cashel like a forgotten breath, linking a house site to another passage while a wedge tomb waits fifty metres away. The absence of stone suggests hands dug through soft earth rather than axes striking rock, creating a temporary tunnel for trade, flight or secret ritual.
On elevated winter pasture within a rectangular cashel (CL010-064014-). A NNE to SSW hollow (L 4.9m; Wth at NNE end; Wth at centre 2m; Wth at SSW end 1.4m; D 0.5-0.6m) may mark the site of a possible Man-made underground passage. No stonework is evident within it or along its sides. A house site (CL010-064015-) is located 3m to the ENE and another Man-made underground passage (CL010-064100-) extends off its N wall. A wedge tomb (CL010-064013-) is located c. 54m to the WSW.
