What is recorded here

Carrickastickan in County Armagh holds a man-made underground passage beside a rath, marked as a scheduled monument from the Christian era. The earth may have swallowed the entrance or hidden it beneath grass, yet the passage still waits beneath the soil. People may have built it to hide, worship or escape, while the land kept the shape of their hands.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH & Man-made underground passage. 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.
