Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In the SE quadrant of a cashel (SL028-021001-). An opening, blocked by limestone rubble, is enclosed by a rubble limestone bank (3m NW-SE; 4m NE-SW; H 0.4m) built against the internal face of the cashel wall. A second opening, also blocked by rubble, lies outside the cashel wall, 6m to SE. Two lintels, visible on the inner side of the cashel wall appear to be in situ. According to local information, this Man-made underground passage was blocked up after it was 'investigated' c. 1987. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
