What is recorded here

Knockatogher holds a vanished stone tunnel, narrow enough to crawl through and long enough to swallow a child whole. A local man remembered entering that dark throat before stones blocked it and earth erased the entrance. The rath nearby still stands, but the passage has become a rumour, leaving behind only the shape of forgotten depth.

At the S end of a large hummock in low-lying grassland. A local man pointed out the site of this stone-built Man-made underground passage (L c. 1.8m; Wth c. 0.9m; H c. 1.2m), which he remembered crawling into as a child. It was partially blocked with stones and was subsequently filled. No visible surface trace of it is evident. A rath (GA085-066----) lies c. 110m to the SSE.
