Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Cave is a man-made underground passage in Rue, County Sligo, Ireland. It lies in the southwest quadrant of a rath and shows a slightly curved depression five metres long, two metres wide and seventy centimetres deep. A possible stone-blocked opening at the northwest end and a similar opening ten metres west on the outside of the rath suggest the passage extends under the rath bank.

A similar blocked opening c. 10m to W on the external side of the rath, suggests the Man-made underground passage extends under the bank of the rath.
