Man-made underground passage in Rathrippin

In a rath (SL026-027001-). A shallow unlined linear depression (Wth 1.5-2m; D 0.5m) extends for 10m from the bank at W into the interior of the rath. The sides of the depression are slumped and poorly defined. Possibly one of the three 'caves' in the interior of the rath (see SL026-027002-; SL026-027004-) which were mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 458). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
