What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a cave, it is situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge and at the SW edge of rath (RO008C010001-). A NE-SW lintelled passage (L 4.8m; Wth 2.3m; H 1.4m) entered at the SW end is flooded (D 0.4m) and regarded locally as a holy well (RO008C010003-), but there is no evidence of veneration. Earthwork (RO008C009----) is c. 70m to the NW. See the attached view from the entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
