What is recorded here
Kevit Lower held a man-made underground passage now lost from sight, according to Davies during the 1942 ITA Survey. The rath still stands in County Cavan, but the passage has vanished from ground level, leaving behind a hole in the story rather than a hole in the land. Perhaps it collapsed, was buried, or stopped being useful. In that case the earth did not break the place; it completed the mystery.
Davies (ITA Survey 1942) recorded the former presence of a Man-made underground passage within Kevit Lower rath (CV025-062001-). Not visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
