What is recorded here

Tooreenbane holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, though nobody now knows the exact spot. Broker recorded an underground chamber there in 1937, suggesting people dug beneath the fort rather than waiting for nature to provide a hole. The chamber may have stored grain, hidden people during storms, or simply tested the patience of everyone who entered it blind.
