What is recorded here

Knockbride holds a forty-metre earthen ring where a hidden passage still breathes beneath the soil. The bank survives only in fragments, yet the shape resists forgetting. People may have entered the dark passage to hide, worship or simply escape the rain. The earth kept the request alive long after the entrance disappeared.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by an earthen bank identifiable only from NW-N-NE and a shallow fosse discernible only from SW-NW. Bank merges with a low field boundary which encloses site from NE-S-NW. Original entrance not recognisable. Within the internal area is a possible Man-made underground passage (CV028-029002-).
