What is recorded here
Within the NW quadrant of a rath in Ashfield Demesne, a shallow rectangular depression marks a man-made underground passage. The entrance point remains visible at the NW end, while a slight rise beyond hints the tunnel continued further into the earth. Anyone who dug or walked there likely believed the ground could be shaped to reveal hidden depth.
Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA128-005----). This Man-made underground passage is indicated by a shallow rectangular depression (L 1.7m; Wth 1.3m) running NW-SE. Some stone and a possible entrance point are evident at its NW end. Beyond this a slight rise in the ground level may indicate the line of a passage extending further to the NW.
