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.
