What is recorded here
Under Frosses in County Antrim, a man-made passage and rath wait beneath the soil, their age uncertain but their intent clear. People dug through rock or earth to create a hidden route, perhaps for trade, flight, or worship. The rath above may have marked a home, a fortress, or a sacred boundary. Together they suggest a place where the surface and darkness served the same purpose.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Man-made underground passage & ?RATH. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
