Man-made underground passage in Towas

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible stone, no chamber, no ledge to hold a lantern. Only a shallow groove, twelve metres long and half a metre deep, cutting from the centre of the ancient rath toward the bank. Perhaps water carried the making away, or perhaps people dug a temporary passage and filled it again. The ridge keeps both possibilities alive.
Situated on the crest of an ENE-WSW ridge and inside the NW quadrant of rath (ME005-024----). A depression (L 12m; Wth 4.7m; D 0.5m) extending from the centre of the rath towards the bank at NNW could be a Man-made underground passage, although no stone is evident.
