What is recorded here
Yes. An underground passage in Carrowcanada remains hidden beneath shallow hollows inside the ringfort. The largest gap stretches ten metres from the northern scarp, while smaller depressions cluster beside it. Overgrowth and protruding stones still conceal whether people dug the way or soil simply collapsed.
In a ringfort/cashel (MA062-086----). In the N half of the ringfort interior, there are a number of shallow interconnected hollows or surface depressions, covering an area of c. 10−11m N–S by c. 5m E–W, partly obscured by overgrowth and difficult to examine. The largest hollow (L c. 10m N−S; Wth 2.6m; D 0.5m) is linear, extending S into the interior from close to the scarp at N. There are smaller subcircular hollows to S and E. Stones appear to protrude from the borders of some hollows. They may simply be the result of disturbance/quarrying or they might indicate the presence of a Man-made underground passage.
