Man-made underground passage in Lissagallan

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Man-made underground passage in Lissagallan is a man-made underground passage in Lissagallan, County Roscommon, Ireland. Its 1.3m wide and 0.3m high entrance opens inside the perimeter of a rath at the southwest. A shallow hollow, probably a destroyed passage, extends 8.3m southeast from the entrance. Another entrance stands 14m north, but the two passages are unlikely to connect.
The entrance (Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m) to an inaccessible S-N passage is inside the perimeter of rath (RO039-006001-) at SW. From the present entrance a hollow (dims 8.3m NW-SE; 5.3m NE-SW; D 0.3-0.7m), probably a destroyed passage, runs off to the SE. The entrance to Man-made underground passage (RO039-006002-) is c. 14m to the N and it is unlikely that the two Man-made underground passages are connected and part of a single Man-made underground passage.
