Presence of a Man-made underground passage referred to by Keatinge (1858-9, 11) as 'a sewer leading from the fort; and on asking him [the local guide] why it was in ruins, he informed me that some couple of years ago a fox, hotly pressed by the Tipperary hounds, had earthed in it, and was dug out, which accounts for its present state'.
