What is recorded here

Killuppaun holds a broken ring where a road cut through ancient life. The grassland keeps a shallow scar instead of a proud wall, yet the shape still suggests people moving around a central place. Perhaps they built the underground passage to hide food, children or memory when danger came. The road takes the ring apart each day, but the field bank and surviving scarp preserve enough for imagination to complete what measurement cannot.

In gently undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S c. 50m, E-W c. 45m) defined by a scarp which survives from SE through S to SSW, and from W to N. The monument is cut at E and W by a road and by a field bank at N, There is a prabable Man-made underground passage (GA074-064001-) in the interior.
