Man-made underground passage in Curry (kirwan)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In a shadowed corner of Mayo, a large stone marks the mouth of a buried passage beside an old ringfort. The way is blocked, denying entry to the dark tunnel below. This is not a cave born of water or time, but a hole cut by human hands. The stone still stands as a barrier, guarding the hidden depth from curious feet.
In SE of ringfort (MA100-034----). A large stone may be part of a blocked up Man-made underground passage. Inaccessible at time of survey. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 544.
