Man-made underground passage in Dromore (farney By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Closed now and misplaced, the passage still belongs to Dromore because people remembered it close enough to walk toward. It ran under the drumlin slope toward the rath, linking a house, a field and a buried road in one breath. That much is local memory, not measurement, but the shape is clear: a hole dug through earth to reach another place. Forget it and the landscape loses a room.

Located towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. There is a local memory of an underground passage that was open in the later nineteenth century and located close to the house (SMR file). The passage was supposed to run towards the rath (MO032-007----). It is no longer open and its precise location is not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 15 May 2018
