What is recorded here
Keelties holds a collapsed underground chamber inside a rath, its ghost marked by five metres of shallow depressions. People dug through solid earth there, perhaps to hide, worship or simply reach the other side without climbing. The roof fell long before written memory, yet the hole still aligns north and south like a forgotten doorway.
In a rath (KE047-070----). A series of depressions (L 5m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m), extending in a N-S direction, the W half of the rath may represent a collapsed Man-made underground passage chamber.
