Man-made underground passage in Cartronhugh

At the centre of the interior of a cashel (SL021-022001-) and within a centrally placed hut site (SL021-022003-), is a rectangular depression (L c. 6m NNW-SSE; Wth at top c. 3m; Wth at base 1.7m; D 0.6m). At the N end of the depression a possible filled-in passage is visible as a stone-edged path (Wth 1m) which follows a meandering course across the interior of the cashel to a break (Wth 1m) in the perimeter of the enclosing wall. 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).
