What is recorded here

Four hundred yards southeast of the ringfort, a hole swallowed an old passage leading towards the fort before tons of stones buried it. Broker noted in 1937 that a flag still marked the spot, yet no surface trace remains today. The passage vanished beneath deliberate destruction, leaving only memory and a hidden wound in the earth.

Broker (1937, 48) noted that '400 yards to SE [of ringfort CO048-003001-] was hole going down to old passage, leading towards the fort; tons of stones were thrown into it; the flag is still there'.
