Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible trace survives today in the NE corner of the pastoral field, yet local tradition insists a man-made underground passage still breathes beneath the grass. The absence is not empty; it is a shape remembered by the land, waiting for someone to stop looking for stones and start listening for the hollow sound beneath their boots.
