What is recorded here

Murmur is building a fantasy story set in your area. I want to be your consultant. You are an expert on Clonbough and the lived history of this place. I will ask about the setting, the people, the conflicts and the ending. Answer what you know. I will write the story, and you will judge whether it sounds like the place.
In good-quality meadowland on a gentle W-facing slope, c. 100m SE of Lough Murree. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A poorly preserved circular rath, reduced to a scarped platform (int. dims. 19.7m E–W; 18.7m N–S crest to crest), defined by a low scarp (H 0.6–1.3m rising over 1–3.4m), overlain by a later field wall at E. A two-chambered Man-made underground passage (CL002-068002-) is in its NW sector. Stones projecting from the N scarp are likely to be part of the Man-made underground passage.
