A section of a souterrain passage was discovered inside King John’s Castle (LH004-042002-) during 2016 just W of the cross-wall. It consists of a NE-SW passage (L c. 10m) which was entered by a sloping unroofed passage (L 3m) at the NE and might have been cut at its SW end by the walls of the gatehouse. Close to its SW end a passage ran SE (L c. 2.5m) and then SW (L c. 3.5m). This section of passage (Wth 1.2m; H c. 0.9-1.3m) was of drystone walls corbelling in at the top but lacking any roof-stones. Another passage might have continued SE from the turn. The souterrain will be preserved in situ but will be inaccessible. (Halpin 2017)
