Man-made underground passage in Knockgrania (corran By., Kilturra Ed) is a man-made underground passage in Knockgrania (corran By., Kilturra Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. It lies immediately west of the entrance to a rath and contains a beehive-shaped chamber built of drystone and roofed by two large slabs. A creepway on the south side leads into a passage that runs south before turning west toward a narrow opening into the rath ditch.

In a rath (SL039-085001-), immediately W of the entrance. A drystone-built beehive-shaped chamber (1.86m E-W; 1.65m N-S; H 1.25m) roofed by two large slabs. The chamber is open at N due to the collapse of a section of the roof. A creepway at the S side, topped by a lintel (L 0.84m; T 0.42m), leads into a passage. The passage continues to S for some distance, where it is open, and then turns to W. There is a possible second chamber at the W side, where a narrow aperture (Wth 0.32m) opens into the fosse of the rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
