Man-made underground passage in Creevaun

In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL025-064----). A shallow curved depression (Wth 1.6m; D 0.45m), probably a collapsed Man-made underground passage passage, extends eastwards from the bank of the rath at W for c. 4m and then turns southwards for c. 7m. A circular hollow (diam. c. 5.5m; D 0.65m) noted c. 4m S of the Man-made underground passage, abutting the inner face of the bank at SSW, may be associated with the Man-made underground passage or may merely be the result of recent digging. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
