What is recorded here
Knockbride rath in County Cavan, Ireland contains a man-made underground passage marked by a rectangular opening and partial dry stone walling at its east end. The structure likely served as a hidden entrance or storage space within the ancient earthwork, reflecting practical human ingenuity in a remote landscape. Its modest remains invite imagination about the people who shaped the passage and used it for daily life or ritual purposes.
Situated within the interior of Knockbride rath (CV028-029001-). Likely remains of a Man-made underground passage comprise a depression with a rectangular opening, partially lined with dry stone walling at its E end.
