What is recorded here

Knockglass holds a man-made underground passage inside the western bank of its rath, where the interior rises above the surrounding land. A beehive chamber two point two metres wide still lies almost buried under stones, while shallow depressions on the surface hint that a passage once cut through the earth toward the rath edge. People may have crawled through that dark tunnel to reach a hidden room, perform a ritual or simply move across the landscape without being seen.

Located inside the bank of rath (ME011-029001-) at W where the interior of the rath is higher. The beehive chamber (present diam. 2.2m) is almost filled with stones but the passage might be represented on the rath surface 8m to ESE by a depression (dims 5m NE-SW; 1.7m NW-SE; D 0.1m) and 3m to the S of this another depression (L 9m; Wth 2.3m; D 0.3m) extends SSW to the edge of the scarp of the rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 9 April 2019
