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.
In ringfort (CO029-068---). Broker (1937, 52) recorded several underground bee-hive chambers. No visible surface trace. According to local information, underground tunnel exposed during recent quarrying adjacent to site.
