What is recorded here
Beneath Haggardstown in County Louth, a man-made passage may still cut through the earth, remembered only in local tradition rather than written fact. People might have dug it to hide goods, escape storms or simply reach another field without crossing a neighbour’s land. The absence of a visible entrance does not mean absence at all; it may mean the opening closed, silted or stopped being needed.
Local tradition of possible Man-made underground passage (CLAJ 1934, 210-211).
