What is recorded here

Two earth-cut chambers in the northern half of a ringfort at Tullyneasky East, found in 1982 while digging a silage pit. One chamber stretches 2.8 m, the other barely 1.5 m, both no taller than a crouching person. Construction shafts still mark their north walls, and the second chamber was the entrance. The passage is badly damaged now, but it remains a deliberate cut through solid ground, made for someone to descend into darkness and return.
