What is recorded here
Cormaglava, cornaguillagh holds a man-made underground passage within a rath, where local tradition claims a cave extends northwards beneath the cutting roadway. A low, sod-covered rise marks the entrance, inviting wonder about the people who dug through solid earth to connect hidden spaces. The passage still whispers of human ingenuity, transforming ordinary ground into a secret bridge between forgotten rooms.
Within the interior of a rath (LF022-028001-). According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' in the E sector where it intersects with a later enclosure/annexe (LF022-028002-). It is said to extend northwards under the NW-SE roadway that cuts through the N half of the rath. A low, sod-covered, stony rise in the centre of the rath, adjacent to the road, may indicate the Man-made underground passage.
