RATH & Man-made underground passage in Cavan

RATH & Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Mud and memory in County Down. A rath is a fort, a boundary drawn in earth, but the passage beneath it is a different kind of admission. Build a wall to keep others out, then dig a hole to go down and around. That is not cowardice. It is imagination. The dead understood what arrogant men still refuse: walls exist to be dissolved, not obeyed.
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.
