Drumlohan Souterrain & Ogham Stones

3D Model

From the Megalithic Ireland website : ‘This souterrain was discovered in 1867, when the outer bank of an ecclesiastical enclosure was being removed. Ten ogham stones were used in the construction of the five metre long chamber. In 1936 the chamber was partially dismantled and five of the ogham stones that were used as lintels, are now standing upright next to the chamber. The other five stones were used to line the sides of the souterrain and remain in position. All the stones are greenschist.’
