What is recorded here
No one knows when the passage was cut or who breathed inside it, but the hidden tunnel still belongs to Pollaweela. It may have served as a refuge, a boundary marker, or a private road between fields, yet the earth kept the shape secret. The absence of a visible entrance does not erase the work of the people who made it; it only redirects the imagination downward.
In a rath (MA111-002----). According to local tradition there is a Man-made underground passage in the S half of rath; no visible trace at ground level.
