small tunnels/house foundations

[theterrorwheel]

this is only a small location, infact it was found on the way back from an explore that didnt go to plan,
anyway not sure what its original use was, maybe house foundations, still once i saw it went somewhere i had to find out exactly where! the pics are not perfect as i didnt have a tripod so couldnt do much about the not straight walls & there was to many spiders to safely lean against anything.

hmm a possible vent & whats that pallett doing over there

after shining my torch into what i expected to be a well, turned out to be a tunnel so i lifed off the pallett

the very end

now turning round to come back

turns L at the wall

camera resting on large rock seen at bottom of last pic

blocked way leading off from half way along wall from previous pic

just beside blocked way looking towards Lturn

turned left

semi tightway in/out rucsac there to show access size.

Did you have alook at the OS map to see what was there, could have been fort or castle interesting find though.

Can you tell me what these very narrow tunnels were used for.

I love these, very strange.

It looks like it could be a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souterrain"]souterrain[/ame] or [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogou"]fogou[/ame] but the construction looks too modern. The OS map and Geograph might give you a clue.

Having a lot of knowledge on fogou’s the build is to new and it would open up into a chamber at some point and date from about 500BC. It looks far too modern to be any thing prehistoric.

Love the stonework in those tunnels. Looks great, looking forward to finding out more about this place. Very nice find.

Could it be a drainage conduit for a medieval house that's since been demollished?

 

[Seahorse]

Water cistern? Ice house?

Underground structure.

If you post a FlashEarth link a lot of research could be carried out.

I was thinking along the same lines as Chris, as they look very similar to the Medieval Underground Passages in Exeter...same height, width and similar construction,etc.
Great find, S. Love these.
