What is recorded here
White Fort in Aghlisnafin contains a man-made underground passage beside a cashel, preserving a hidden route through County Down. The official record places the site in the E.CHRIST.. period, suggesting people built or used the passage long before modern maps marked it. The chamber may have served worship, refuge or exclusion, depending on whether fear or faith drove its makers.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASHEL & Man-made underground passage: WHITE FORT. Recorded period: 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.
