Man-made underground passage in Lisnabantry (killinkere Ed)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Killinkere Ed is a collapsed underground chamber hidden inside the Lisnabantry rath, where a rectangular pit and broken stone walls still mark the seam between the living world and the dark. People built that chamber deliberately, perhaps to keep treasure, hide during storms or perform rituals others forgot. The earth later swallowed the roof, leaving only a shadowed hollow behind the ancient bank.
Situated within the interior of Lisnabantry rath (CV039-061001-) at SE. A subrectangular depression (L 8m NW-SE; Wth 4m NE-SW) with stone wall-footings at its SE end may represent the site of a collapsed 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
