What is recorded here

Discovered during road construction when a mechanical excavator broke through the roof. Located outside road take, therefore no further impact on it. Situated on a low hill with good views in all directions. A passage (L 11m) was exposed with both ends blocked where the roof had collapsed. The H and Wth of the passage increase slightly from E to W (H 1.10m to 1.20m; Wth 0.90m to 1.10m). The walls were built of drystone and corbelled slightly towards the top. Natural boulder clay forms the floor. (Ó Drisceoil, CLAJ 1999, 431-4) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 4 May 2012
