What is recorded here

This record is based on a reference in the Western People, dated 5th Feb 1933, to the local tradition that a souterrain (MA030-079----) in Gurteens, on the W side of Ballina, extended under the Moy and exited at Palmyra, Ardnaree, on the E bank of the river. It is not possible that a souterrain extends beneath the Moy, but the tradition does suggest that an opening to a souterrain was at one time known in the Ardnaree area of Ballina. Its exact location, however, remains unknown. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 June 2018

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.
