What is recorded here
No visible chamber, no marked stair, no witness. Only a shallow circular scar inside the ancient earthwork, wide enough for one person to drop through, narrow enough to swallow without ceremony. The passage may have collapsed or never finished building. Either way, the ground kept the shape of human intention while forgetting the name of the person who dug it.
In a rath (KE067-039----). A circular depression (c. 1.4m NW-SE; c. 1.2m NE-SW; D c. 0.3m), obscured by overgrowth and debris, in the E half of the rath may indicate a collapsed Man-made underground passage.
