DOUBLE RINGED CASHEL & Man-made underground passage: McPARTLAND'S FORTH in Carrive

DOUBLE RINGED CASHEL & Man-made underground passage: McPARTLAND'S FORTH

What is recorded here

Double ringed cashel and man-made underground passage in Carrive, County Armagh, marked as McPartland's Forth, belongs to the early Christian period and still carries scheduled protection. The name suggests a family or local line claimed the tunnel as its own, perhaps cutting through rock to hide, pray, or escape. Two rings above ground and one dark passage below create a place where ordinary life and secret movement crossed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as DOUBLE RINGED CASHEL & Man-made underground passage: McPARTLAND'S FORTH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
