	Souterrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Souterrain is a name given by archaeologists to a type of underground structure associated with the Atlantic Iron Age.
		Regional names include earth houses, fogous and Pictish houses and they appear to have been brought northwards from Gaul during the late Iron age.
		Souterrains are underground galleries and in their early stages were always associated with a settlement.

	SOUTERRAIN
		Souterrains are artificially constructed or excavated subterranean structures generally consisting of a chamber or chambers with an entrance passage and, when required, connecting passages.
		The presence of a false facade was recorded in a souterrain at Knockanenagark in Co. Cork (Gillman 1897, 4).
		The close comparisons between the two souterrains at Newrath Big in the siting of their entrances, the probable existence of two circular beehive chambers in each case, and their possession of a linear and an L-shaped passage would strongly suggest that they were constructed by the same team of builders and were thus roughly contemporary.

	Your Place And Mine - Down - Binder's Cove - a rediscovered souterrain near Finnis, Dromara
		As the souterrain is located around 120m across a field in a fairly remote area, a renewable source of energy for the lighting was required.
		A souterrain is an artificially built or dug underground structure, often built within pre-existing ringforts but many were constructed independently of enclosures and the most common are built in a dry-stone style.
		The function of the souterrain has long been the subject of debate and the most accepted opinion is that they were used primarily as a place of refuge and occasionally as a storage site.

		An elongated pit close to the entrance to the souterrain contained numerous burnt and cracked stones and two stone lamps (one decorated).
		In the second season in 1998 a trench measuring 25m by 25m was topsoiled immediately to the north of the area excavated in 1997 and focused on the remains of the souterrain which had been discovered the previous season when a side entrance and part of the main passage had been investigated.
		In addition to the souterrain a further six unenclosed burials were also located in the 1998 season.

	Scotland and the Scottish Highlands - Broch in Sutherland - Scotland
		Sometimes called an earth-house, souterrains usually consist of an entrance followed by a curved corridor or tunnel, about 15-20 feet long, and quite often a small chamber at the end.
		This could mean that the souterrain was only used as a last resort, in time of attack, or perhaps in severe weather conditions, or perhaps simply as a cellar.
		The location of the souterrain is marked by two stone cairns, about 3 feet high, by the side of the road on the west side of Loch Erribol.

		The souterrain is down a track and over a stile in a field behind the doocot (16th century pigeon house).
		The cup and ring marked stone at the northern entrance is thought to have been taken from another site and used in the construction.
		It is curved in plan, and the inner end is rounded; it appears to have been divided into two compartments, and is c 80' long.

		It then continues on for 20 ft. to a little corbelled chamber whose end wall is cut into a roughly quarried and levelled ledge.
		On the slope around the souterrain are about 100 cairns, some carefully constructed; others appear to be the result of field clearing."

	Carlungie
		This L-shaped and now roofless souterrain was discovered during ploughing in 1949 and then excavated in 1950-51.
		There are four entrances and a narrow passage that joins the main underground gallery.
		The purpose of the souterrain is unknown, but excavations suggest a possible use as store-room for grain or shed for cattle or sheep.

	Souterrain
		"Souterrain" is French for "underground"...my mission statement for Souterrain can be summed up by the wise words of U2's Bono,"...we will continue to abuse our positions and f* up the mainstream." Here at Souterrain** I realize the importance that truth (truth being knowledge) should be something accessible and tangible to all youth.
		So you might have wondered who this "I" person is that's mentioned in the mission statement...that would be me, Michelle Coudon (it's a decent French name), also known as Diva...or as most people call me (more like I WISH they would say) Venus in the flesh.
		One of my many visions for the future is that Souterrain will someday develop into a mega-online magazine, equipped with the most informative hype happening in the art industries.

	Skye & Lochalsh Community Toolkit Project - Local Projects - Kilmuir Souterrain
		Once the souterrain had been carbon dated, the group obtained offers of funding from Highland Council and SALE to help them to excavate the site.
		After laying bare the site, the group was offered various options, and decided the second stage of the project should concentrate on stabilisation and renovation work, with the intention of restoring the souterrain and making it completely safe for public access.
		The souterrain is now fully restored, dry below ground and the grass has grown back over the works.

	Souterrain The Hague opens for traffic
		On October 16th opened the new tramway tunnel, two new underground tramway stations and a parking garage in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands.
		The project, called the Souterrain, consists of a tramway tunnel of 1250 meters, two underground tramway stations, Grote Markt and Spui and a parking garage with 375 spaces with entrances to the basements of the stores at Grote Markt straat, The Hague's main shopping street.
		The main challenge of this project was to prove that architecture can have a positive effect when applied to the rigour of transport pragmatism.

		I first visited this souterrain when I was still at school, catching a bus to Hillend and walking the rest of the way- it was another I was inspired to see after reading a description in 'Scotland Before History' by Stuart Piggot.
		The roof was thought to originally have been constructed partly from timber, which is kinda unusual for a souterrain.

		This has got to be my fav souterrain (or fogou if yer Cornish!) that I have visited so far- I think cos it's 'wild'- i.e.- it hasn't been restored in any way- no plexiglass roof or nice safe ladders or doorway in.
		The farmer has been totally fine about me tramping around his fields to go see this- be prepared though- in wet weather the side of the field you have to walk through to get to the souterrain can be real muddy and wet.
