Recorded monuments

• DG078-039 Souterrain
  Description

  A souterrain located within a Cashel (DG078-039001-). There are substantial remains of a sub-circular stone enclosure around the souterrain location which have been respected (just about) by the surrounding forestry. There are at least 2 gaps in this perimeter and some stones which may have been part of a second outer enclosure or an entrance. While I have not seen any remains there is reputed to have been a 'Summer house' belonging to the local estate somewhere in the vicinity which has been covered by the forestry and may have been built using some stone from the cashel. There are no other visible standing remains within the enclosure. A fence has recently been placed around the souterrain to protect it and local walkers from falling into it as there has been development of walking trails in the vicinity one of which now goes through the cashel. The souterrain is in reasonable condition with a stepped entrance into a passage from which 2 chambers are visible extending at right angles. The passage is roofed by substantial flagstones some of which are missing. There is an air vent at the end of the passage furthest from the entrance (pers comm. Tony Wilkinson).
