What is recorded here

Donaghmore holds a buried passage beside its neighbour, closed in antiquity but still touching the newer entrance. Its lost slope and door cavities suggest people once chose whether to enter, avoid, or remember the dark. The earth kept that choice alive by swallowing the road between them.

Man-made underground passage situated adjacent to Man-made underground passage LH006-060001-. Its full extent is unrecorded as the site was delintelled and backfilled in antiquity. One of the passages of the Man-made underground passage passes close to the modern entrance of the previous site (LH006-060001-). The original entrance of the Man-made underground passage was located NE of the entrance to LH006-060001- and consisted of a slope, with cavities in the drystone walling suggesting a possible door.
