What is recorded here
Loughpark is a blank spot on the Galway border where a hidden passage and ringfort vanished without a trace. The land holds no stone, no ditch, no mark to prove the claim, yet local memory insists the earth swallowed both. What disappeared there is not loss but transformation: the region kept its shape by removing the part that could be pointed at.
On the S-facing slope of a hillock in pastureland. According to local information a Man-made underground passage and ringfort (GA125-----) were formerly located here. No visible surface trace survives.
