Man-made underground passage in Glasha More

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Fourteen shadowy metres stretch beneath the cashel at Glasha More, marked only by parallel roof lintels and glimpses of drystone wall through narrow gaps. The passage runs northwest from the centre to the outer wall, hiding a chamber or corridor now lost to time. It lies beside a children's burial ground, suggesting the site served life and death both, though no door remains for the living to follow.
Situated in the NW sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-013001-). This Man-made underground passage (L 14m) is defined by a line of parallel roof lintels, aligned NW-SE, that extend from the centre of the interior to the cashel wall at NW. It is inaccessible but in several places the drystone-walling of the passage is visible in gaps between the lintels. There is a children's burial ground (CL008-013005-) to the SE of it.
