What is recorded here
No visible surface trace, only a hidden passage beneath the Ballinluska ringfort. O Murchadha noted its presence in 1967, leaving the chamber itself unseen but certain. Whatever hands dug it worked in darkness, building a route no modern foot has easily found.
In ringfort (CO099-032---). O Murchadha (1967, 12) notes presence of Man-made underground passage. No visible surface trace.
