Man-made underground passage in Brackloon South

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Under the southwest quadrant of the Brackloon South rath, a hidden passage waits beneath ordinary soil. People once dropped through a hole near the southern bank, but somebody blocked that entrance long ago. The tunnel still exists beneath the grass, perhaps carrying breath or memory, though no stone or marker now admits it.
Located in a rath (MA093-036----). According to local tradition, there is a Man-made underground passage (MA093-036001-) in the SW quadrant of the rath; an access hole, which was located close to the bank at SSW, was blocked up in the past. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 June 2022
