What is recorded here
Masonbrook preserves a collapsed underground passage hidden beneath a rath, its L-shaped hollow marking where human hands cut through earth before time and gravity erased the shape. The chamber may have stored grain, hidden people or simply allowed a household to breathe through a harsh winter. Whatever it held, the roof fell and the function vanished, leaving only a shadow in the soil that still points downward.
An L-shaped hollow in the SW quadrant of the interior of a rath (GA106-124----) may mark the site of collapsed remains of a possible Man-made underground passage (GA106-124001-).
