The National Monuments Service's description
An area in Creevy Cave, known as 'Creevy Rising' was first recorded by cavers in the 1960's, however its archaeological significance wasn't noted until 2009. A possible hearth and post-medieval pottery on an earthen platform (L 6.5m; Wth 4m) defined by stones along with a stone structure (MO031-137002-) were recorded. (Dowd et al. 2011; 36-9)
