Man-made underground passage in Dungory West

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Dungory West hides a man-made underground passage in its western interior, though no surface trace remains for modern eyes to judge. Local tradition preserves the shape of that loss, suggesting human hands cut through soil and stone before memory faded. The rath keeps its secret without apology, forcing imagination to fill the dark gap where evidence disappeared.
According to local tradition, there is a Man-made underground passage (GA113-123002-) in the W part of the interior of the rath (GA113-123001-). However, no visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 8 August 2017
