The National Monuments Service's description
Situated to NW of Monasterboice graveyard but probably outside the outer ecclesiastical enclosure (LH021-062001-). It is marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as 'Cave', but no description of it is available. It is now inaccesible.
