  1. 20th August 1938
    About six years ago some men were engaged in road work taking away part of the road at Reynella on the main Kells - Mullingar road. They found a cave and on examination it looked to be a very ancient Burial Chamber which evidently dates back to a very early period. This Burial Chamber is between ten and twelve feet long eight feet broad and over seven feet high. A very tall person could stand upright in it. There is a narrow passage leading into it. James Moore Sion Hill gave above information.
