Man-made underground passage in Treanlaur (gallen By., Kilconduff Par.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Treanlaur holds a man-made underground passage beneath a levelled ringfort, though no entrance or mark remains visible at ground level. The hidden tunnel belongs to local tradition rather than certainty, inviting imagination about the people who dug it and the purposes they served. What is known is that human hands shaped the earth below an ordinary field in County Mayo, leaving behind a secret that resists easy discovery.
