Man-made underground passage in Fennor (duleek Upper By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Fennor’s buried passage appeared in 1930, then disappeared again under soil. A concrete post still marks the spot where the earth opened to reveal a narrow man-made chamber, perhaps a cellar, shrine or hiding place. The sudden loss of the entrance turned the discovery into a story told rather than a route walked.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 Souterrain discovered c. 1930 and backfilled. Site now marked by concrete post.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
