  1. Liosanna

    Share Share Post
    Between Rabbit''s of Kilskeagh and Cooley's of Kilskeagh there is big hill called the Cregg, and at the bottom of it there is a door shaped opening.
    Patrick Rabbit of Kilskeagh one day entered it and found it contained three large square rooms with pipes leading from them through the top to the air outside.
    His father Mike Rabbit told him that the Danes were supposed to have used the Lios.
    People fear to enter it for fear the roof would fall in on them.
