What is recorded here

Nine feet west of the church wall, a man-cut tunnel still breathes under the grass. Stone sides and heavy flagstones built it for walking, not for roots, though no one now remembers whose legs first tired on its floor. The trench aligns toward the cashel, as if the village itself leaned underground to listen.

The site lies on the E slopes of Carrickgollogan. The OS Letters (1837) refer to an underground passage to the NW of Rathmichael Church (DU026-050001-) (O'Flanagan 1927, 40). It is described as having stone sides and being covered with large flagstones. O'Brien (1988) has suggested a location c. 30m NW of the church where a wide trench (now covered) can be traced for a distance (L 7m) extending towards the cashel wall.
