Man-made underground passage is a man-made underground passage in Sheegeeragh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It is a 6.65-metre corbelled and lintelled passage aligned north-west to south-east at the south-west edge of a rath, with many lintels now missing. A modern excavation at its south-east end connects it to another underground passage.
Marked only on the 1930 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'Man-made underground passage'. Located at the SW edge of rath (RO028-136001-). Undiffernentiated corbelled and lintelled passage (L 6.65m; Wth 1.15m at NW to 1.3m at SW; max. H 0.8m) aligned NW-SE and entered at NW, but with many lintels missing. At its SE end a modern excavation gives access to the WSW end of Man-made underground passage (RO028-136003-).
