What is recorded here

Bronze Age hands carved a passage through solid earth while others raised a rath above it, creating a settlement where the underworld and sky touched. The enclosure still holds that contradiction, inviting people to imagine chambers dark enough to swallow a torch and rooms bright enough to watch rain move across grass. What is missing is not a fact but a witness, since the living people who built the passage have vanished into the soil they shaped.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT, RATH & Man-made underground passage and ENCLOSURE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; M.B.A.; E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
