What is recorded here
Death and danger marked the underground chamber in Tullig, where horses sank without warning. Broker recorded the chamber inside a possible ringfort in 1937, preserving the fatal detail even though the exact location has been lost. The passage may have served people, but it swallowed horses instead.
In possible ringfort (8788). 'Underground chamber (horses sank)' mentioned by Broker (1937, 50). Exact location not known.
