Man-made underground passage in Garryduff (clandonagh By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

South-east of the Orchard, a low pillar stone stands upright on a hillock beside Clooneen church, marking the entrance to a man-made underground passage in Garryduff. The cave hides in plain sight, waiting for someone brave enough to crawl through darkness while the stone watches like a silent guard. It is the kind of place where ordinary fields stop being ordinary and memory begins to breathe.
Unlocated Man-made underground passage referred to as a cave beside a standing stone and near Clooneen church that is described by Carrigan as 'South-east of the Orchard, and, again in the same field, a low pillar stone standing upright on a hillock marks the entrance to a cave' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 139).
