Man-made underground passage in Rahood

Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A plough removed the capstone of a beehive chamber (diam. 2.66m E-W; 2.64m N-S; max. H 1.8m) in April 1986. A passage (Wth 0.76m) leads off to the WNW but is blocked within 1m. There is no evidence of an associated enclosure. (Eogan 1985) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 10 April 2019
