Man-made underground passage in Dingins

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Dingins rath in County Cavan, Ireland, still casts its shadow over a hidden tunnel mentioned in local tradition. The passage may have served as a secret escape route or a sacred path beneath the earth. Its exact purpose and dimensions remain unknown, but the story gives the ancient landscape a strange, living depth.
Local tradition refers to a tunnel running off Dingins rath (CV030-015001-), which suggests a Man-made underground passage site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
