Man-made underground passage in Togher (kilmaine By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

West of the Togher ringfort, a collapsed stone passage lies buried, stretching ten metres east to west and measuring 3.5 metres across. It is no longer walkable, yet its shape still marks the ground where human hands cut through earth. Perhaps it led water, hid people, or connected buildings now lost. The collapse did not erase the intention; it only stopped the doorway from answering.
In W of ringfort (MA100-128----). Inaccessible, collapsed Man-made underground passage (L 10m E-W; Wth 3.5m). The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 533.
