What is recorded here
Under Dunturky, a man-made passage cuts through ancient earth, joining a rath and hidden chamber in one buried address. Whether it served as a refuge, a treasury or a trial chamber for local people, the stone still points to purpose. The absence of a visible entrance does not erase the function; it suggests the passage waited for someone who knew where to look.
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.
