What is recorded here
Ballyvennaght holds a man-made passage beside a rath, waiting for boots on wet stone. Whether it served a farm, a fortress or a forgotten road, the cut chambers still answer human hands. The uncertainty on its date is not a flaw, but an invitation to listen for the shape of the people who built it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & Man-made underground passage. 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.
