What is recorded here

That is an underground passage in Glenboy, County Meath, cutting through the southwest part of a rath. It begins near the field bank that splits the rath, runs southeast for more than ten metres, turns east for another six, and opens into a round hollow wide enough for several people to stand inside. The hollow may have been a chamber, a meeting place, or the end of a hidden route, while a shorter track seems to leave it again toward the north. People shaped that ground deliberately, and the passage still keeps the shape of their choice.

Located in the SW quadrant of rath (ME009-011001-). A shallow passage (Wth of top 2.2m; Wth of base 1.1m; max. D 0.6m) inside the edge of the rath at W extends SE (L 10.25m) from the field bank dividing the rath in two, and turns E (L 6.5m) before terminating in a circular hollow (diam. 4.5m; D 0.5-0.7m), which has indications of another passage (L 3m) extending N from it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 October 2018
