What is recorded here
Carncoagh holds a hillfort and an uncertain underground passage, waiting beneath the soil for someone brave enough to listen. The distinction between natural cavity and human craftsmanship may have vanished, yet the shape still suggests intention. People may have dug through solid rock to hide goods, escape storms or speak to dead ancestors. That much is lost, but the hole remains, patient and unexplained.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HILLFORT & ?Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
