What is recorded here
No visible surface trace survives, yet a local man recalled entering the dark passage beneath Rathbaun as a child. The memory outlived the stone, keeping the buried way alive long after destruction erased its shape.
Within the interior of a rath (GA114-153----). Recorded by McCaffrey (1952, 287, no. 28) who noted that it was destroyed. On inspection in November 1982 a local man recalled entering the Man-made underground passage as child. No visible suface trace survives.
