What is recorded here

No stone remains to prove the tunnel, only a shallow wound in the drumlin beside the rath. The main channel stretches eight metres northeast while a shorter spur cuts southeast, forming a cross beneath the grass. Perhaps people dug through solid earth to reach another world, then the roof collapsed and the land forgot the shape.
Located on top of a drumlin. A sunken area (L 8.8m; Wth 4.5m; D 0.6m) extending NE from a break in the bank of rath (MO023-020001-) at W has a spur (L 4.8m; Wth 3.8m; D 0.7m) extending SE and could be a collapsed Man-made underground passage, although no stone is present.
