• CO082-078 Souterrain
  Description

  In rough grazing, on N-facing slope. Discovered in 1957 when tractor caused collapse; investigated by M.J. O'Kelly and E.M Fahy, UCC. Four oval-shaped earth-cut chambers with barrel-vaulted ceilings. Collapse in roof of chamber 2 (L 2.9m; Wth 1.4m; H 1.02m; long axis E-W); creepways in SE and NE corners to chambers 1 and 3 respectively; short recessed stone wall in Eside. Chamber 1: (L 3m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.8m; long axis E-W) has blocked creepway in N wall and blocked shaft to surface at E end. Chamber 3: (L2.5m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.02m; long axis SW-NE) has short stone wall at S corner and creepway at NE end to chamber 4: (L 2.6m; Wth 2m; H 1.2m; long axis N-S). Long passage from S end of E wall of chamber 4 not explored due to collapse. Investigators suggest single construction pit, located behind stone walls in chambers 2 and 3 and behind blocked creepway in chamber 1. No visible surface trace. (McCarthy 1977, 276-7).

• CO082-111 Souterrain
  Description

  In pasture, on the top of a hill with good views in all directions. This souterrain was discovered in 2002 when the ground collapsed spontaneously. The souterrain is earth-cut and consists of at least four chambers. The collapsed opening (1.6m x 0.83m) allowed access through the roof of Chamber 1 which is 0.96m below ground level. This chamber (1.85m ENE-WSW; 1.7m NNE-SSW) is oval in plan and the collapsed earth and stones from the roof occupy most of its floor space. Three creepways exit from chamber 1, at N, E and SSW, respectively. Creepway A (Wth 0.5m; H 0.3m) is semicircular in shape and leads into chamber 2. Access to chamber 2 was not possible due to a pile of collapsed earth and stone immediately behind the creepway. A small 'window' (Wth 0.23m; H 0.31m) c. 0.1m above the floor level and 0.45m E of Creepway A allows intervisibility between chambers 1 and 2. Creepway B (L 0.5m; Wth 0.45m; H 0.5m) leads into Chamber 4 (c. 6m NE-SW; c. 4m NW-SE) which was not entered. The floor of this chamber is scattered with stones and in its NE corner is creepway C, which presumably leads into another chamber. Creepway D (L 0.3m; Wth 0.58m; H 0.6m) leads SSW from chamber 1 into chamber 3 which is also blocked by collapsed material and was inaccessible. Its floor slopes down to the N.
