What is recorded here
Knockmanagh holds a man-made underground passage inside its ringfort, waiting below the southern entrance. People dug it within living memory, yet no surface trace remains to mark the work. The earth keeps the shape of human hands while denying the eye any proof.
In ringfort (CO022-079---). According to local information, Man-made underground passage in this fort, S of entrance, dug down into within living memory. No visible surface trace. (pers. comm. Raymond O'Sullivan)
