Man-made underground passage in Knockearagh

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Knockearagh holds a lost passage inside an ancient rath, closed for so long that no stone or entrance remains visible. Local memory insists people once cut through earth beneath the mound, perhaps escaping danger or hiding treasure from unwanted hands. The soil has swallowed the work, leaving only a flat field where curiosity still scratches at what disappeared.
In a rath (KE067-007----). According to local information, a Man-made underground passage existed here but it has been closed for a long time. There are no visible remains of this possible Man-made underground passage. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
