What is recorded here

An underground passage was discovered in digging a well in the back garden of a house at Follistown in 1974. It is described (SMR file) as a large beehive chamber (diam. 2m) with a passage running NW (L 5.25m; H c. 0.75m) that met a cross-passage (L c. 5.5m; H c. 1.1m) at a T-junction but both arms of this passage were blocked with collapse. No further details of the discovery are available and other than the townland name its location is not known. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 March 2023

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.
