  1. The Poll Talmhan

    Share Share Post
    In this district there are curious underground chambers called Poll-Talmhans. These chambers are about three feet high and shaped like a beehive. The chambers are connected by passages about a foot and a half high.
    Nobody knows who made these but evidently they were made in pre-historic times.
