What is recorded here

Discovered in 2009 in Creevy Cave alongside an earthen platform, a possible hearth and post-medieval pottery. A stone structure (L c. 3m; Wth 0.75m; H 1m) which was constructed both above and below ground at an opening into the cave. This opening is now blocked and is only visible as a slight depression above ground. The side walls are composed of small rounded stones and it is roofed with lintel slabs. Its appearance is very similar to a Man-made underground passage. (Dowd et al. 2011; 36-9) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 24 June 2011
