Recorded monuments

• MA024-009 Souterrain
  Description

  There is no surface evidence of this souterrain and its exact location is uncertain. It is not marked on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but 'Cave (site of)' is marked in gothic script on the 1921 edition. The OS Name Books for 1898 recorded it as: ‘...a remarkable cave, an antiquity, but closed for upwards of 30 years.' According to local information, the souterrain was last entered in the first half of the 20th century, and is said to consist of a long, narrow stone-lined passage. In 1988 archaeological testing took place at the location marked on 1921 OS 6-inch map prior to the construction of a dwelling house. No evidence of a souterrain was uncovered (Conroy 1989, 28, no. 47). However, according to local tradition, the exact location of the souterrain may be at a point c. 50m to NE of the spot marked on the OS 6-inch map.
