What is recorded here

In pasture, in a relatively flat recently drained field, on the N side of a road. According to local information, there was a 'cave' in this field which extended under the road. It was also recorded that a hollow sound was heard when carts crossed the road. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. There is also doubt about the precise location in the field in which it occurred. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
