What is recorded here
Milleens hides a vanished underground passage inside a possible rath, remembered only through local information rather than visible stones. The passage may have served as a shelter, treasury or ceremonial route, but its opening has disappeared from the land. What remains is the shape of the claim: a hole in the earth large enough to walk through, and absent enough to wonder about.
In a possible rath (KE102-110002-). According to local information, there was an opening to a Man-made underground passage here. There are no visible remains of this possible Man-made underground passage.
