What is recorded here
Under Ballyhacket Glenahorry in County Derry, a man-made passage cuts through ancient earth, joining a rath to hidden depths. People may have built it for trade, flight or ritual, yet no written account survives to confirm the purpose. The darkness still keeps that absence, waiting for footsteps honest enough to ask it again.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
