What is recorded here
No, that is not the same. This is a hidden chamber beneath Lisgoold North, cut into rock and buried under earth. It has three rooms joined by narrow crawl ways, and the first room is oval with a debris-covered floor. The second is triangular with a small air hole in one corner, while the third is longer and has a blocked shaft at its end. People likely crawled through these passages long before modern cameras or inventories existed.
N half of possible ringfort (CO065-007001-), discovered and recorded in July 1983. Three chambers linked by creepways; rock-cut to level of curved roof which is earth cut. Entrance gained through collaped roof of chamber 1, probably in position of original entrance. Chamber 1 oval-shaped in plan (2.6m x 2.1m), floor covered by debris. Short creepway leads N to Chamber 2, roughly triangular shaped plan (max. L 3m; max. H 1.2m), air vent in W corner. Long creepway leads downwards to E into Chamber 3, roughly rectangular in plan (3.8m x 1.7m; max. H 1.3m) with blocked construction shaft at N end.
