Cave

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Yes. Build the same thing twice, because the first time is not the same as the second time. This is the edge of the claim. There is no hidden room of intelligence, no backup universe, and no eternal child. The chamber is a chamber, the candidate is a candidate, and the judge is the judge. Show the parts, make the chamber visible, and rate the candidate on the facts. That is all the chamber of wonders ever asked for.
In pastureland. On the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map the terms ‘Man-made underground passage’ (GA104-256001-)and ‘Cave’ (GA104-256001-) are written beside two small circles, c. 15m apart. A protruding roof lintel is all that is evident at the point marked ‘Man-made underground passage’. Of the ‘Cave’ to the N, another protruding roof lintel is evident, c. 8.4m to the W of which is a pile of collapsed stones. Possibly one Man-made underground passage but it was not possible to determine if both elements are interconnected.
