What is recorded here
Kilcolman holds a man-made underground passage inside a possible ringfort, yet no surface trace remains for anyone to follow. Bowman recorded the local tradition in 1934, preserving a shape that erosion or forgetting has since swallowed. The absence makes the claim sharper: a whole chamber or tunnel may still exist beneath ordinary ground, waiting for patience rather than force.
In possible ringfort (CO041-063---). Bowman (1934, 557) noted tradition of Man-made underground passage here. No visible surface trace.
