What is recorded here
Kittybane holds a man-made passage beside a rath, marking the area as a place where people dug beneath soil instead of building above it. The official record gives no date, so the chamber remains open to imagination: a hiding place, a storage hole, or a journey through dark earth. What is certain is that the passage still exists, and human hands shaped it long enough for the land to forget the names of its makers.
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.
