Description
The Culsh Earth House dates from around the year zero. The underground construction probably served as a storage place.The souterrain is simple in design and well preserved, complete with flat stone ceiling. The Earth House consists of a curved hallway. From the entrance, the corridor continues straight and then bends to the right. The total length of the corridor is roughly 14.5 meters. At the end the corridor is slightly wider and higher than the rest of the corridor.
