What is recorded here
Cloonahard holds a hidden passage beneath its rath, waiting for footsteps that have not returned. The ground above remains closed and ordinary, disguising a tunnel built by human hands. Local tradition preserves the shape of what is absent, suggesting people once moved through darkness before forgetting the way out.
Within a rath (LF014-074001-). According to local tradition, there is a 'passage' (possible Man-made underground passage) running underneath the rath. Not visible at ground level.
