    There is an under ground passage in Tom Moran's field Cartoon. There are three rooms, and a hall leading to each of the rooms.
    The hall is six feet long. A man named Hallot went down with a candle but when he was half in the passage the candle quenched and he had to come back again.
    At Clogher, Kilcummin. Another Chamber.
