What is recorded here
That is the present fact. The hidden chamber beneath the ring is the unusual part. The story is a warning about H.A.R.M. and human greed. The chamber is a measure of whether people still want to take more than they should give back.
On a NE-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 46.7m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at SE. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA042-092001-) SW quadrant of the interior. (Costello 1903, 9)
