What is recorded here
Cloonanass holds a hidden passage beneath its rath, marked only by a strange pile of slabs and stones in the northern ditch. The ground seems to breathe there, inviting feet into darkness while withholding certainty. Perhaps people once descended to keep secrets, trade goods or escape storms. The stones still wait for someone brave enough to ask them what they hid.
In a rath (MA014-008----). A concentration of large slabs and small and medium stones in the enclosing fosse at NNE of the rath may indicate the location of a Man-made underground passage.
