What is recorded here
Knockearagh holds a lost drystone passage inside an ancient rath. Men and machines may have broken through its roof before filling the hole again, denying the place even a ruin to remember. What remains is a void shaped like a tunnel, waiting for someone to imagine the dark it swallowed.
In a rath (KE067-103----). According to local information, a N-S drystone-built corbelled passage was recently revealed during mechanical excavation in this area and was later filled in. There are no visible remains of this passage.
