What is recorded here

Treaankeel is a rath in Mayo where a buried passage still zig-zags beneath the grass. It runs twenty-three metres through the western half, turning twice as if avoiding something no one has named. At the far end a slab lies in darkness, perhaps the last roof left standing. The passage does not announce itself. It waits beneath the turf like a forgotten road, ready to be walked again.

In a rath (MA071-143----). The remains of this Man-made underground passage are visible as a linear grassed-over depression (Wth 2m; D 0.4-0.6m) which zig-zags through the level W half of the interior. It extends from a point close to the rath scarp at NNW to SE for 7.5m, changes direction to SW for 4.7m and then continues to SSE for a further 11m. At the NNW end, a slab, probably an in situ lintel or roof slab, is visible in a sub-surface void. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 September 2021
