Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In pasture, on a NE-facing slope, 31.5m NNE of Shancough church (SL035-052001-) and within the NE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL035-052004-). A lintelled opening (Wth 1.2m; H 0.75m) reveals a stone-lined passage (L 4.5m; max. H 1.25m) roofed with lintels. The passage extends in a SW direction towards the church and terminates where blocked by collapsed earth. A second Man-made underground passage (SL035-052005-) lies c. 50m WNW of the church. 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).
