What is recorded here

In a ringfort (MA082-040----). According to local tradition, ‘stone flags’ were uncovered in the interior of the ringfort, possibly part of the lintel roof of a Man-made underground passage. The exact location is uncertain but it may be to E of centre where there is a roughly circular, shallow surface depression (diam. 2-3m).
