Man-made underground passage in Annaglogh

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

That is the smallest chamber recorded in the source, a subcircular room no more than 4.4m across, joined to a destroyed passage that reached the rath bank and turned south. It lies beneath a drumlin ridge in Annaglogh, close enough to the rath to have belonged with it, yet broken now and visible only in measurement. Someone dug through solid ground, perhaps to hide, preserve or enter the rath from below, and someone else erased most of the proof.
Located at the crest of the W-facing slope and towards the S end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. About 4m NW of the centre of rath (MO015-001001-) is the destroyed subcircular chamber (int. dims 4.4m x 3.6m; D 0.4m) of a Man-made underground passage with a destroyed passage (L 9m; Wth of top 3m; D 0.5-0.7m; D 0.5-0.7m) extending SW from it almost as far as the bank of the rath and then S (7.5m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 February 2018
