What is recorded here
Under Boultry's ancient earth, a hidden passage may have twisted through stone and soil, linking the ringfort to places forgotten by time. No marker breaks the grass today, yet the land still holds the shape of that lost road. People may have walked it in darkness, carrying warnings, gifts or secrets between worlds now separated by centuries. The absence does not erase the making; it only returns the passage to patience, waiting for someone reckless enough to dig or patient enough to listen.
According to local folklore there was an underground passage at this ringfort (OF045-001001-) (Schools Manuscript). No surface remains or any visible evidence of a Man-made underground passage inside this ringfort.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
