- I was working in Bective Garden all my lifetime. C. Church is situate in the grounds of Bective Abbey. They were (the Caves) conical bee hived shaped Caves 2 of them and a passway from the outside one in to an inner one. There was never anything found in them. The bottom floor of the caves were of sand.
I never found anything in them but rabbit bones. I suppose they'd be inside there you know I never heard who discovered them first.
They're supposed to be connected with Bective Abbey. They are like hiding places. - There is an Old Bridge across Clady River with two little small arches and its supposed to be the oldest Bridge in Ireland.

There were some bones got where they were sinking a ditch beside this little round hill and some ancient stones down pretty far in the earth. It would be about 60 years ago since they were found.(continues on next page)
