What is recorded here
No visible surface trace remains in the western half of the ringfort, yet the hidden passage still cuts through solid earth. Build a chamber above it and the chamber becomes a container for the dead rather than a display of human cleverness. The location is not a gap in knowledge, but a warning about the limits of visible proof.
In W half of ringfort (CO054-033001-). No visible surface trace.
