What is recorded here
Kilcreg holds a man-made underground passage beside a possible rath, waiting for boots on wet stone. The enclosure may have marked a boundary, a home or a warning, while the passage suggests people still wanted to hide, enter or escape when storms came. Uncertainty does not remove the shape of the act: someone cut through earth and made a way through it.
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.
