Man-made underground passage & ?RATH in Wateresk

Man-made underground passage & ?RATH

What is recorded here

Under Wateresk in County Down, a man-made passage and rath wait beneath the soil. The official record offers no more than that, leaving the chamber empty except for darkness and the weight of forgotten hands. Perhaps people once walked there when rain filled the ditches above, or perhaps they built it to keep out rain and watch the sky through a hole in the earth. Either way, the ground still holds the shape of their choice.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Man-made underground passage & ?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.
