What is recorded here
Under Poundlick, a hidden chamber waits for summer drought to reveal its shamrock shape through a fading stain on the ground. Built beside an ancient ringfort, the passage may have stored grain, hidden people or simply drained rain from the earth. The land keeps its secret safe until heat returns, then draws the outline across the grass like a forgotten promise.
A possible Man-made underground passage was identified as 'showing as a drying stain in the summer, shamrock-like in plan' and which is likley to be associated with a ringfort (CO141-125----).
