Man-made underground passage in Carrowliam Beg

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Carrowliam Beg hides a man-made underground passage in its southwest quadrant, waiting beneath soil where potatoes once forced flagstones into daylight. The rath keeps its own counsel, revealing chambers only when human hands break its skin. What lives in that dark is no longer certain, but the stones remember the digging and the passage remains a promise the earth makes and breaks.
