What is recorded here

No visible entrance exists today, though a narrow gap in the north-west bank still hints at the buried passage. In the 1940s, a four-foot opening revealed extensive chambers beneath Cleedagh, their roofs held up by large stone slabs and careful masonry. The passage ran from north-west to south-east inside the rath, large enough for people to walk through and deep enough to disappear from memory. What is missing now is not the chamber but the entrance, closed by soil, root or time.

In a rath (KE058-076----). A portion of a stone-lined and lintelled passage (on a NW-SE axis) is visible through an opening in the NW quadrant of the rath. The Man-made underground passage was recorded in the 1940s as a '4ft [1.22m] opening to very extensive underground chambers, propped up by large stone slabs, and some masonry work' (ITA).
