Man-made underground passage in Ardabrone is a man-made underground passage in Ardabrone, County Sligo, Ireland. It lies south of the centre inside Ardnabrone rath within a small quarried area measuring 6m north-south, 8m east-west and 0.8m deep. A rectangular limestone lintel measures 2.65m east-west, 1m wide and 0.25m thick. The southern entrance is 1.2m wide and 0.2m high, lying 0.7m north of the lintel midpoint, while the eastern entrance is 1.2m wide and 0.15m high under the west end of the lintel.
Located to S of centre in the interior of Ardnabrone rath (SL013-057001-) within a small quarried out area (dims. 6m N-S; 8m E-W; D 0.8m). A large lintel consisting a rectangular limestone slab (L 2.65m E-W; Wth 1m; T 0.25m) has been exposed. The first entrance (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m) to the Man-made underground passage faces S and lies 0.7m to the N of the mid point of the exposed lintel. The second entrance (Wth 1.2m; H 0.15m) to the Man-made underground passage faces E and lies under the W end of the exposed lintel. Both entrances are too narrow to allow access to the passage.
