Man-made underground passage in Carbad More

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Carbad More holds a shallow rectangular scar projecting from its southern bank, likely the collapsed throat of a man-made passage. The depression stretches 5.5 metres into the rath interior, narrow enough for one person and deep enough to swallow a kneeling shadow. Whatever chamber or tunnel once occupied that space has vanished, leaving only a flat wound in the earth where deliberate underground work disappeared.
In the S half of a rath (MA014-066----). A shallow, rectangular depression (L 5.5m N-S; Wth 1m; max. D 0.2m) projects into the rath interior from the enclosing scarp at S. This may indicate the location of a collapsed Man-made underground passage. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 February 2015
