What is recorded here
Mortars and trowels, not centuries of rain, built the chamber and passage now lost beneath Rickamore. That human intention is the exception, because most rath and cave claims in this region still amount to a circular mound, a dropped stone, or a memory that never survived winter. The official label preserves the distinction. Nothing in the supplied facts claims ancient origin, burial use, or supernatural meaning.
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.
