What is recorded here
County Mayo, Ireland: A stone-lined depression, 4.4m long and 2.4m wide, lies inside a ringfort, possibly the collapsed remains of a man-made underground passage. Whether people walked beneath that fort in darkness or stone simply fell and made a hollow, the margin still invites foot traffic and imagination.
In interior of ringfort (MA121-033----). A stone-lined depression (L 4.4m; Wth 2.4m) may represent a collapsed Man-made underground passage.
