FORTIFIED OUTCROP? & Man-made underground passage?: DUNGONNELL in Dungonnell

FORTIFIED OUTCROP? & Man-made underground passage?: DUNGONNELL

What is recorded here

Dungonnell in County Antrim holds a fortified outcrop and a man-made underground passage, though uncertainty still shadows both claims. The site may date to early Christian times, when people shaped stone and soil into defensible form. Its exact purpose resists certainty, but the chamber and ridge suggest occupancy, warning, or ritual under pressure.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED OUTCROP? & Man-made underground passage?: DUNGONNELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. 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.
