What is recorded here
Doonasleen East holds a hidden chamber inside its ancient fort, lost beneath soil and silence. Bowman recorded the infilled passage in 1934, but no surface trace remains for modern eyes to find. The earth swallowed the work of human hands, leaving behind a vacant shape that imagination can still occupy.
In ringfort (CO029-01401-). Bowman (1934, 504) recorded an infilled Man-made underground passage here. No visible surface trace.
