Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Underground chambers in Rahard, rahard East and rahard West bypass the usual rath, suggesting purpose beyond display. They may have served storage, refuge or ritual, depending on the season and the danger above. Build them as deliberate, not abandoned, and the absence of a rath stops sounding like a mistake.
