Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Stand at LH004-008001 and a hidden chamber may open beneath the ringfort, though no entrance remains visible. Build the chamber as a narrow stone vault where a keeper stored seed, tools or a child through winter storms. The missing passage is not a failed record, but an invitation to imagine the life that needed it.
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated in the interior of ringfort LH004-008001- (CLAJ 1909, 137-8). Now inaccessible.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
