What is recorded here
Under Slaghtneill in County Derry, a man-made passage descends into darkness beside a possible Rath, marking human ingenuity across the centuries. The chamber may have served trade, ritual or refuge, while the surrounding land preserved the shape of hands that dug it. People walked past ordinary fields above, unaware that below them a hidden room still waits for light.
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.
