What is recorded here

No visible wall remains on the hilltop, yet the ground still holds the shape of a forgotten ring. The fort has been levelled, but an underground passage nearby suggests people once cut through solid earth to hide, move or worship. Killany kept its own secret chamber while the sky-facing wall disappeared.

On top of a hill. Site of levelled ringfort (McCarthy 1977, 271). No visible surface trace. Associated with Man-made underground passage (CO111-067002-).
