Found this in national news today (some video and image included) :

And here are some of the references :

Footage has emerged of an intriguing network of caves found through a rabbit hole that many believe were built by the Knights Templar order 700 years ago.

The entrance might look just like a rabbit hole but the tunnel leads to a stunning cave with a fascinating place in Shropshire's history.

Down the rabbit hole we go. Quite an impressive find.

Very much like the Cove, which is not far from Rosslyn Chapel that we have here in Edinburgh. Which they say is also connected to the Templars.

Thank you, Bill,
For I have long and sorely regretted the OS move away from the Paper maps we all loved so much, the Pathfinders, -- Another move towards " Burning the Libraries ? "

So thank you for this OS link...
