What is recorded here
Shanrath East in County Kildare holds a curvilinear shadow inside a levelled rath, visible only when overhead light catches the S sector. Whether people dug a passage there or simply cut a ditch remains unknown, but the shape resists ordinary explanation. A rath is a threshold place, and thresholds often hide rooms. The field has forgotten the entrance while preserving the line of the way.
In the S sector of a levelled rath (KD035-025----). Visible on a 1989 aerial photo (GB89.O.03) as the cropmark of a curvilinear feature, possibly a Man-made underground passage.
