What is recorded here

Man-made underground passage in Rathrippin is a man-made underground passage in Rathrippin, County Sligo, Ireland. O'Rorke's 1889 account names three caves inside this rath, and the shallow passage may be one of them. It extends 10 metres from the west bank into the rath interior, measures 1.5 to 2 metres across and 0.5 metre deep, and has slumped, poorly defined sides.

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).
