Man-made underground passage in Corrinshigo (cremorne By)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible stone, no chamber, no ledge. A long shallow cut branches from the rath centre to its south-west gap, then turns west inside the bank. The ridge hides the shape, but the measurements leave little room for chance. Whoever made it did not build a chamber to be admired. They cut a route through solid ground, perhaps for water, perhaps for passage, perhaps for a warning carried underground. The earth kept the route secret. The numbers still point it back.
Located on the E-facing spine of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. From the centre of rath (MO020-014----) a depression (L 14m; Wth 3.9m; D 0.5m) extends S to a gap in the perimeter at SSW with a spur (L 8.4m; Wth 3.9m; D 0.6m) extending W from it just inside the bank. This is possibly a Man-made underground passage, although no stone is visible. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 June 2018
