What is recorded here
Lissaniska in Costello, County Mayo, lost its visible rath when men levelled the earth, yet local memory insists a stone-built passage still breathes beneath the soil. The site may hide a forgotten chamber, a trading vault or a refuge carved before the fields swallowed it. What remains is a ghost of architecture, waiting under ordinary grass for someone curious enough to listen.
Located in a rath (MA092-067) which has been levelled. According to local information, there is a stone-built Man-made underground passage in the interior of the rath.
