What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Bengour West sat atop a hillock east of River Bride until machinery levelled it around 1979. A man-made underground passage still lies hidden inside the destroyed ring. The loss turns a common field into a place where human hands and forgotten life disappeared together.

In tillage atop hillock, E of River Bride, levelled c. 1979. Man-made underground passage (CO095-128---) in interior.
