What is recorded here

Situated in the centre of a cashel (CL009-064001-). This souterrain (10.6-11.6m NNE-SSW) is partly rock-cut. From NNE an unroofed section of passage (L 3m; Wth 1.15m; est. H c. 0.2m) extends SSW, followed by a roofed section (L 3.6m; Wth 1.15m; H 1.1m) which has four lintels. The WNW and lower ESE walls of the roofed section are rock-cut, with the bedrock bulging into the souterrain on either side. The upper ESE wall is built from stone slabs. The NNE and SSW ends of the roofed section were blocked by drystone walls (the NNE wall has been pushed down). Beyond the SSW drystone wall there is another unroofed section of souterrain passage (L 4m). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 4 April 2022
