Ballymichael hides a man-made tunnel beneath its road, according to local tradition. No entrance, marker or broken surface gives it away. The passage waits under ordinary traffic, building a ghost road that only memory still travels.
Local tradition of "tunnel" under the road. No visible surface trace.
