What is recorded here
Lisdrumfad rath in County Cavan, Ireland holds two shallow depressions meeting at an angle, the longer stretching 9.7 metres and the shorter 4.8 metres, marking the likely site of a man-made underground passage. The shape suggests a narrow entrance cut through the bank rather than a natural hollow, inviting imagination about the people who dug it and the shadowed path they created beneath the earth.
Situated inside a break in the bank of Lisdrumfad rath (CV023-034001-) at WSW. Two narrow, shallow depressions meeting at an angle, the longer leg (L 9.7m) aligned NE-SW and the other (L 4.8m) running NNW-SSE, probably indicates the site of a Man-made underground passage.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
