What is recorded here
No one has found the entrance, yet people still point to shadows moving beneath the grass. The western half remains hidden inside dense blackthorn, waiting for someone brave enough to push through its brambles. What builds a passage but refuses to show itself may be testing whether you believe enough to keep looking.
In rath (MA072-061). There is a local tradition of a Man-made underground passage in the rath, but no details on its exact location or its form. No trace of the Man-made underground passage was found during an inspection in 1997. There are a number of shallow surface depressions in the E half of the rath interior, but no definitive evidence that these relate to a Man-made underground passage. It was not possible to examine the W half of the rath, which is obscured by impenetrable blackthorn.
