What is recorded here
Lackanamona hides two shallow depressions, each three to four metres wide, inside the north-west quadrant of its ringfort. They may be the collapsed roofs of underground chambers built by human hands. The earth swallowed the passage, but the dimple remains, waiting for someone to imagine the dark corridor below.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO033-031---). Two shallow depressions (diam. c. 3-4m) may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage chambers.
