There is also a cave or tunnel which runs from Bective Abbey under the road about 50 or 60 yards, the Navan side of the River Boyne The trace of this cave can be seen on a dry summer showing that it runs in the direction of Trim. The grass over the tunnel becomes withered and dried up as the moisture drops into the tunnel. The hollow sound too when traffic crosses the spot can be easily heard.
N.B: Would it be worth having that Tara cave explored?
