What is recorded here
No visible passage or chamber remains, only the L-shaped hollow in the SW quadrant of the ringfort. The sharp westward turn at its north end suggests a deliberate route, not a collapsed hole or abandoned ditch. Whoever cut it knew the shape of the ground and the direction of the path it should hide.
In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA073-140----). What is visible is an L-shaped hollow, its long axis running N-S. At its N end, it turns sharply to W and continues for a short distance on an E-W axis.
