What is recorded here
Coolnaha South holds a man-made underground passage beneath its ecclesiastical enclosure, yet no trace remains visible at ground level. Local tradition keeps the chamber alive while the earth hides the entrance. The passage may have served prayer, concealment or ordinary movement, but its exact purpose has faded. What is certain is that human hands shaped the dark below a place still marked for worship.
According to local tradition, there is a Man-made underground passage within Coolnaha South ecclesiastical enclosure (MA093-014001-). There is no visible trace at ground level.
