What is recorded here

Mules and men struggled through narrow rock, bleeding and breathing dust until they broke into open air. They had cut a passage through solid mountain rather than climb around it. The route still works because stubborn people refused to accept the shape of the land.

In Kilcrohane Graveyard (CO138-015001-). According to local information, a Man-made underground passage was discovered in the course of digging a grave in the area to the SW of the ruins of Kilcrohane Church (CO138-015002-) some years ago. It was filled in and there is no visible trace of it at ground level. There are currently graves and headstones in this area.
