Many of these walled recesses still survive along various stretches of the county roads which have not been widened or rebuilt. I’ve never been sure of their origin or purpose except that, around 50 years ago, I remember that some (in Co Down anyway) were used to deposit stone etc pending minor road repairs and maintenance. This one is near the Shore Road Cottages.
