What is recorded here

No one knows the exact length, depth or shape of the missing passage. It hides beneath a circular enclosure later reused as a burial ground, while the surface offers no marker, entrance or warning. People may have dug it to keep water back, store things from rain, or reach another part of the land without crossing open ground. In that dark gap between invention and forgetting, it becomes a room the earth refused to show.

In circular enclosure (CO119-097---) reused as burial ground (CO119-036001-). Reported to NMI by D. Nyhan in 1932; no details. (McCarthy 1977, 351). No visible surface trace.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
