What is recorded here

Indicated is an inaccessible underground passage inside a seventeen-metre ringfort in County Mayo, hidden beneath a low mound and closed to ordinary entry. It may have served as a cellar, refuge or ceremonial chamber, but its true purpose has faded with the people who dug it. The passage still exists, waiting beneath the grass for someone patient enough to listen for what it kept.

Inaccessible Man-made underground passage, situated in ringfort (MA123-020001-), defined by low mound (L 17m). The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 502.
