What is recorded here
Inishkeel Island, County Mayo: a hidden underground passage within a rath, its southern entrance long since infilled, leaving no visible trace. People may have dug it to reach water, store grain, or escape storms, but the earth swallowed the proof. What remains is a absent shape, a hole that stopped being a hole, and the quiet suspicion that the island still keeps one secret it will not show.
In a rath (MA066-001001-). According to local information, there is a Man-made underground passage in the interior of the rath, with an entrance hole, which was infilled in the past, outside the bank at S. There is no visible trace.
