What is recorded here
Under Tullydonnell in County Armagh, a man-made passage still hides beside an old rath. Built in the early Christian period, it may have served as a shelter, a hiding place or a route through dangerous land. People may have crawled through darkness during storms or carried secrets to safety. The earth keeps that chamber unchanged while the world above forgets how often it needed the way down.
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.
