What is recorded here
One chamber is an enclosed rath, the other a man-made underground passage in Ballintemple. The first may have kept people, animals or ceremony inside a visible line. The second may have let them leave, hide or be remembered beneath the ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE (rath) & Man-made underground passage (unlocated). 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.
