Man-made underground passage in Lisnaboy Lower

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible surface trace, only shadow beneath Lisnaboy Lower. Broker (1937, 52) recorded several underground bee-hive chambers inside the ringfort. Recent quarrying beside the site exposed an underground tunnel, suggesting the chambers are not separate but rooms in one hidden passage. The land keeps its shape private; human hands made the rooms, and forgetting has not erased them.
