RAISED RATH & ?Man-made underground passage in Sallagh

RAISED RATH & ?Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

There is a hole in the hillside at Sallagh, County Antrim, where a man-made passage cuts through solid rock beside a raised rath. The official record leaves the exact age unclear, but the shape is clear: someone dug through living stone instead of walking around it. That much work suggests the destination mattered. Perhaps it was a hiding place, a worship chamber, or a route to water. The missing detail does not weaken the wonder; it widens it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH & ?Man-made underground passage. 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.
