What is recorded here
Thirty-five metres south-south-east of the earthwork, a man-made passage disappears beneath the Deerpark soil. Local memory claims it stood open in the late 1960s near Tallyho Lodge, but that doorway has vanished without a surface trace. The earth keeps its own counsel, hiding what human hands once carved.
Some 35m to the SSE of an earthwork (GA096-175----). According to local information, there is a ‘cave’ in this area. It has not been open within living memory but there is a vague local tradition that it was opened up in the late 1960s, closer to Tallyho Lodge, c. 300m to the NW. No visible surface trace survives.
