What is recorded here
Rathdonnell is a man-made underground passage hidden beneath a rath in County Mayo, Ireland. A shallow depression marks the entrance, but the passage itself remains unseen and unrecorded. The chamber may have stored grain, hidden people or simply drained rain from the bank. Whatever it held, the earth kept the shape while memory forgot the name.
In the W half of a rath (MA030-043----).
The SW quadrant of the rath interior is at a higher level that the rest of the interior. At the N edge of this area there is a surface depression (Diam. c. 2m; D 0.6m), which may indicated the presence of a Man-made underground passage. There is a shallow dip at the inner edge of the rath bank c. 3m to W.
