What is recorded here

Beneath a rectangular house inside a Kilwullaun ringfort, drystone chambers still force a person to crawl through narrow creeps. The first chamber measures 4.5m long and 1.5m wide, then a low passage leads into a second chamber 5.9m long. A third, rounder chamber lies nearby, reached through another tight opening. Built by human hands and hidden under ordinary ground, the passage remains a dark place where curiosity must bend the body before it can see what the stones preserved.

Within a ringfort (GA042-158----) and partially underneath a rectangular house. A drystone-built Man-made underground passage consisting of at least three chambers connected by two creeps. Access to 1st chamber (L 4.5m, Wth 1.5m), running NW-SE, is via a small gap at SE end. About midway along NE wall, a creep (L 1.1m, Wth 0.85m, H 0.7m) leads to 2nd chamber (L 5.9m, Wth 1.4m) which runs NE-SE. The 3rd chamber lies c. 3.6m to SE of 1st chamber. It is subcircular in plan (NE-SW c. 4m) and runs NNE-SSW. Access is gained at SSE side. There is a creep (Wth c. 1m) at NW which probably leads to 1st chamber.
