What is recorded here

Two rectangular holes sit beside the Raffony graveyard wall, likely the collapsed remains of an underground passage cut through the old ecclesiastical bank. One measures four by two and a half metres, the other four and a half by one and a half metres, both sharp enough to suggest human hands rather than erosion. They may have let people move secretly between sacred spaces, or simply drained water from the foundation. Whatever their purpose, the roof fell and the function vanished, leaving only shadow-shaped gaps in the earth.

Two depressions which probably represent a collapsed Man-made underground passage. The first is rectangular (dims 4m N-S; 2.5m E-W), the second sub-rectangular (dims. 4.5m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW). Situated c. 17m from the wall enclosing Raffony graveyard (CV039-071001-). Both depressions partially cut the bank which formed part of the original perimeter of the earlier ecclesiastical foundation. 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
