Man-made underground passage in Uragh

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Under the cashel at Uragh, a hidden tunnel may still wait for a lantern bright enough to reveal its shape. The local story speaks of a man-made passage beneath the ancient stones, yet no one has found the entrance or measured the dark. Perhaps the earth swallowed the opening, or perhaps the tunnel never existed beyond the imagination of the people who first whispered its name.
There is a local tradition of a tunnel, possibly a Man-made underground passage, in the interior of a cashel (LE001-053----) but no evidence of it was identified. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 December, 2015
