What is recorded here
Ballyginny holds a man-made underground passage and a possible Rath, marking human ingenuity across the epochs. The passage cuts through earth while the Rath rises above it, suggesting a place where people lived, hid or worshipped beneath and beside the surface. Together they reveal a layered community capable of shaping stone and soil for its own needs.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Man-made underground passage & Possible RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
