Souterrain/Ecclesiastical
Souterrain discovered on removing the outer bank at NW of an Early ecclesiastical site. Ten ogham stones were used in the construction of the rectangular chamber (Moore 1999, 151, 172-3) - five as lintels, which are now removed and placed upright beside the souterrain, and five as lining stones for the sides, which are still in position.
'The first lining-stone on the eastern side'. Greenstone, 1.14m x 0.29m x 0.20m (converted from Macalister 1945, 273).
'Inscribed on two angles (up-top-down) and in good condition ' (Macalister 1945, 273).
BIR: Modern form Berr 'short-haired' (McManus 1991, 106).
ROTTAIS: Tribal name Rothrige (McManus 1991, 111, 180 n60), listed amongst the subject communities of the Déisi of Munster.
Re-used as the first lining stone on the eastern side of the souterrain (Macalister 1945, 273) in townland of Drumlohan and barony of Decies without Drum. (GPS coordinates -7.465370, 52.163318)
