What is recorded here

Man-made underground passage in Carrowreilly is a man-made underground passage in Carrowreilly, County Sligo, Ireland. Local information says a cave appeared while sand was extracted near the townland around 1983. The sand pit later destroyed the immediate area, so the passage itself no longer stands where it was first seen.

According to local information, a 'cave' was found while extracting sand c. 1983. The exact location of this cave could not be pinpointed and the immediate vicinity has been completely destroyed by the sand-pit. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
