What is recorded here

The earth swallowed the entrance, but the chamber may still hold its shape beneath the grass, waiting for someone brave enough to listen for hollow echoes before digging.
In levelled ringfort (CO032-003---). Bowman (1934, 672) recorded a Man-made underground passage in this fort. No visible surface trace.
