• CO141-140 Souterrain
  Description

  Donovan (1876, 39-40) noted that '…on the lands of Lurriga (ridge or shin), the property of M'Carthy Downing, M.P., in a large field adjoining Clover Hill House, an opening was accidentally discovered in the soil in November, 1869, which on being enlarged, enabled a person to descend into an underground chamber, about four feet beneath the surface, of the usual oven or bee-hive shape, and hollowed out of the stiff clay subsoil. Human bones, evidently very ancient, were discovered near the entrance…Three other chambers, taking a spiral direction, were also entered, a narrow circular passage leading from one to the other. No. 3 was blocked up by large stones, so firmly impacted that further progress was completely checked. Overhead on the surface of the soil was a large horizontal flat stone or lintel, which seemed from its position, overlaying an opening into one of the caves, to have answered the purpose of a rude door. With regard to the conformation of the land where these cells were explored, it is worthy of remark, that it appeared to be artificial - a raised oblong mound [see CO141-045002-], probably one of the ancient tooms [sic.] or tumuli, referred to in works on Archaeology, and supposed to have been used in pagan times as cemeteries. About a quarter of a mile to the east on the same land is a small rath or fort [this is CO141-046----]. The site of Lurriga House, which forms the extreme western limit of this mound, bears also a general resemblance to an ancient rath; although no traces of rampart or fosse remain...'. According to local information, underground chambers were exposed here during building works in the recent past.
