What is recorded here
Man-made underground passage in Doonflin Upper is a man-made underground passage in Doonflin Upper, County Sligo, Ireland. A narrow depression 10.5 metres long, 1.2 metres wide and 0.3 metres deep extends from a two-metre gap in the southern bank into the rath, curving slightly towards the north-northwest. Random stones protrude through the sod cover in parts of this shallow trench. The visible remains may represent a collapsed underground passage rather than an open digging.
At a rath (SL018-047001-). A narrow, linear depression (L 10.5m; Wth. 1.2m; D 0.3m) extends from a gap (Wth 2m) in the enclosing bank at S into the rath interior, curving slightly towards NNW. Stones protrude randomly in parts from the sod cover within the depression. This may represent the remains of a collapsed Man-made underground passage.
