What is recorded here

Uncertainty itself is the shape of the story. A rath may have stood above ground while people lived beside it, and a passage may have cut through the hill beneath their feet. The enclosure marks the edge of a household, a shrine or a boundary. The hidden passage removes the edge altogether. What is uncertain is not whether the place existed but how much of it still waits beneath the grass.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE (rath?) & Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
