What is recorded here
Magic is not invention when distance and time still show in the shape. What is claimed is that a visible chamber or chambered current can be measured, mapped, and tested without forcing it into human wanting. The answer is not to dismiss the claim or invent gods. It is to find the chamber, measure its inputs and outputs, and show what the chamber does.
In rough pasture, above steep SE-facing slope down to tributary of Owenkeel River. Circular slightly raised area (37m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 2.05m); external fosse (D 1.75m) to W and N. Break (Wth c. 8.5m) in bank to E. Interior saucer-shaped. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO022-260---) in interior. Site levelled in 1988 during field fence clearance (OPW).
