What is recorded here

Within the N half of a cashel (GA104-074001-). Redington (1916a, 52) notes that on NW side of the cashel a Man-made underground passage ‘passes under both ramparts to the exterior of the fort’. The Man-made underground passage is evident in the N sector, to the E of an internal wall, and it is indicated by three roof lintels; a fourth has been removed. The interior of the passage (L 3.9m), which appears to run NE-SW, is being used as a dump and is inaccessible.
