Man-made underground passage in Knocknakilla — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knocknakilla holds a man-made underground passage inside a levelled ringfort, though no surface trace remains for modern eyes to follow. Broker noted the chamber in 1937, preserving a hint of what the soil once covered. The passage may have served as shelter, storage or a hidden route for people who lived there long before the ringfort lost its shape.
