Man-made underground passage in Lisirril

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Lisirril holds a robbed underground passage inside a rath on a Monaghan drumlin. Its grass-covered channel stretches 6.4 metres with a western spur, suggesting people built a hidden way through the bank before taking its stones elsewhere. The depression still cuts the earth like a forgotten breath, waiting for someone to imagine what it connected.
Located on top of a drumlin and inside the perimeter of rath (MO027-046----) at NW. A N-S depression that cuts through the bank is probably a robbed Man-made underground passage. It consists of a grass-covered channel (dims 6.4m NNW-SSE; 2.5m E-W; D 1m) with a spur (L 4.5m; Wth 3.3m; D 1.4m) extending W from its centre.
