What is recorded here

Corravahan rath in County Cavan, Ireland, holds a shallow curving depression two metres from its centre, likely the collapsed remains of a man-made underground passage. That is all the facts provide, but the shape suggests a deliberate cut through living soil rather than a random sinkhole. A person may have dug it to hide tools, water or memory from the open sky. The rath still stands above that forgotten depth, waiting for someone to imagine what disappeared below.

At Corravahan rath (CV021-019001-). An earlier report (OPW 1970) recorded a long, shallow, slightly curving depression, orientated NE-SW, 2m NNE of the centre of the rath's interior. This may represent the remains of a Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
