Man-made underground passage in Faghcullia

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible entrance remains, only a shallow depression in the western half of the rath. That missing shape suggests a chamber fell inward rather than a person ever digging through solid ground. The passage may have hidden a door, a stair or a room now indistinguishable from ordinary earth.
In a rath (KE067-048----). A depression (1.4m E-W; 1m N-S; D 0.25m) in the W half of the rath may indicate a collapsed Man-made underground passage chamber.
