Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In a rath (KE058-102----). The rectangular stone-lined entrance (Wth 0.9m; H c. 0.6m) to the Man-made underground passage is in the NE quadrant of the rath, at the S end of a linear depression (c. 10m N-S; c. 1m E-W; D c. 0.6m), covered with overgrowth. The entrance gives access to a drystone-lined passage (H 1m; Wth 1.1m), which extends to the N under the depression and is roofed with large stone lintels c. 0.6m below the ground level. At its N end the passage appears to turn westwards. A ridge of dug-out material was noted to the E and W of the depression.

Saint Finan's HospitalHospital/infirmary · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Finan's Hospital in Ballydribbeen is showing off its dormer attic like it’s a crown jewel from 1849. It thinks its Gothic Revival style is top-tier, honestly. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Saint Columbanus's Community HospitalHospital/infirmary · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Columbanus's Community Hospital in Ardnamweely refuses to fall down because it’s too proud to admit defeat. It was originally a workhouse, so it knows how to endure misery. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Ginkgo1.8 mi

Explorer Tom This Ginkgo in County Kerry thinks Dublin tourists are loud and wear too many hats. It’s been around longer than their excuses for being late. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Red Deer of IrelandSculpture · 2.0 miGiant Sequoia2.1 mi

Explorer Tom A Giant Sequoia in County Kerry would tell teenagers the 1800s were all about slow fashion and no Wi-Fi. It’s definitely not from here, but who cares? Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Explorer Tom Round Castle in Parkavonear is sick of people asking if it can still hold a party. It’s got a narrow internal stair that would make your knees cry out loud. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
