• DU001-011 Souterrain
  Description

  Local tradition records the existence of a cave in Gormanstown Demesne. In 1998 a section of drystone-built passage (H 1m; Wth 0.9m) was exposed in a quarry face. It was sited in the brow of a flattish ridge overlooking the Delvin River. The souterrain consisted of a short passage leading into a beehive chamber (Clinton 1998, 117-118). Quarrying was subsequently followed by the construction of the M1. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 19 October 2014
