Man-made underground passage in Blackraw

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No stone is visible, but a long shallow depression still marks the place where a made passage may have collapsed. It lies just southeast of a small drumlin ridge in County Monaghan, reaching toward the bank of a rath as if people once cut through living earth to reach it. The land kept the shape of that choice: a narrow groove, dark in rain, waiting for someone to walk it again.
Located just SE of the summit of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge and extending from the centre to the bank of rath (MO013-024----) at NNW is a depression (dims 12.7m NNE-SSW; 3.1m E-W; max. D 1m) which could be a collapsed Man-made underground passage, although no stone is visible. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 February, 2018
