What is recorded here

Claraghatlea North holds a hidden stone passage inside a levelled ringfort, waiting beneath ordinary soil. A mower and later a horse fell into the hole before people filled it, suggesting the ground still hides its own shape. The nearby second ringfort watches the first like a duplicate shadow, while the vanished entrance refuses to show itself.
