RATH & Man-made underground passage in Tawnybrack

RATH & Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Mortars and chambers built for a household still stand together beneath Tawnybrack. Whether the chamber is a hall, a kitchen, a treasury or a room for a keeper, the builders made it large enough for a person to stand and walk. The chamber may have belonged to a hall above, or it may have been the whole house when the land became dangerous. In either case, the builders believed the ground could hold a life as well as a secret.
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.
