Man-made underground passage in Ards (magunihy By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Ards holds two raths and a vanished underground passage in one field. The landowner still points to the soft ground where the passage may have run, linking the buried way to one of the raths above. No stone or hole remains for a visitor to touch, but the story keeps the shape alive in the pasture.
In level pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. According to the landowner, a Man-made underground passage in this field is associated with one of the two raths (KE066-004----, KE066-005----) in the same field. There are no visible remains of the Man-made underground passage. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
