What is recorded here
Wooden pallets and scattered boulders mark a hidden chamber inside the old rath at Dromin East. The marshy ground swallows ordinary footsteps, yet the built passage suggests people once chose darkness, privacy or preservation over open sky. It still waits beneath a temporary cover, inviting imagination rather than certain memory.
In a levelled rath (KE057-028----). A depression, covered by wooden pallets and surrounded by boulders, in the centre of a marshy area is, according to local information, probably the location of a Man-made underground passage.
