RATH AND Man-made underground passage: BOG HEAD in Tirgracey

RATH AND Man-made underground passage: BOG HEAD

What is recorded here

Bog Head in Tirgracey holds a rath and man-made underground passage, waiting beneath the northern soil. The official record leaves the chamber unnamed and unsteady, but the shape is clear enough to imagine: a roofed space cut or built by human hands, perhaps for storage, ritual or refuge when storms closed the sky. The chamber may have smelled of wet stone and wood smoke, echoing with footsteps that never entered a written account.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH AND Man-made underground passage: BOG HEAD. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
