What is recorded here
Barroe holds a man-made underground passage inside its ringfort, now blocked and vanished from sight. Local tradition credits people with building the dry-stone tunnel, then closing the entrance rather than abandoning the work. The cachel keeps that hidden room intact, waiting for someone to remember the shape of the opening.
In a ringfort (MA063-015----). According to local tradition there is a Man-made underground passage of dry-stone construction in the interior of the cashel. Access to the Man-made underground passage was blocked up in the past. No visible trace.
