What is recorded here

Eskerboy rath: a man-made underground passage in its SE quadrant, blocked in the 1930s after sheep fell into it. No visible surface trace survives. The passage may have been a drain, a hiding place or a forgotten way through the mound; the sheep proved it was real.
According to local information, a Man-made underground passage in the SE quadrant of the rath (GA107-068----) was blocked up in the 1930s after a number of sheep fell into it. No visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 December 2017
