What is recorded here
Enclosure in Tullintanvally is a rath with a man-made underground passage, recorded for the Christian era but uncertain in exact date. The underground route suggests people moved through the earth rather than across open ground, perhaps to hide, protect or control access. The chamber may have served worship, storage or refuge, while the enclosure above marked the boundary of a lived-in place.
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.
