What is recorded here

Man-made underground passage in Ballydawley is a man-made underground passage in Ballydawley, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the north-east quadrant inside a rath, where a 13-metre-long, 4-metre-wide, 1-metre-deep depression adjoins the rath bank at its east end. Three flagstones, each up to 1.8 metres long, 1.1 metres wide and 0.2 metre thick, lie on the ground immediately south of the depression. Overgrowth covers the depression, and the feature may represent a dugout chamber rather than a completed passage.

The E end of the depression adjoins the base of the bank of the rath.
