What is recorded here

Rathmore is not a place where human life was lost or where a visible chamber still stands. It is a lost underground passage in County Meath, Ireland, recorded from a roadworks discovery in 1975. The passage was found, closed again, and never properly examined. What remains is a hole in the local story, not a hole in the ground.

An underground passage was discovered and reclosed without investigation during roadworks at Rathmore in 1975 (NMI file) but the precise location and any details are not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 16 April 2019
