What is recorded here
No visible entrance or tunnel chamber is recorded. The claim is that people dug a passage inside the ancient earthworks, not that nature made one. That much is clear. What is missing is the shape, extent and purpose of the work. A hidden passage may have served a house, a boundary, a refuge or a joke. Without a seen opening or recovered structure, the answer must leave that uncertainty untouched.
Located in a rath (MA074-011----). There is a local tradition of a Man-made underground passage in the interior of the rath. There is no visible trace at ground surface.
