What is recorded here
Knockbrack holds a hidden passage beneath its rath, waiting for footsteps that have not returned since the building stopped. The earth keeps the shape of human hands even when the ground offers no seam, joint or entrance for them to follow. What was made there must have wanted to be hidden, which means the makers understood that some truths need darkness before they can be spoken.
In a rath (MA088-020----). According to local information, there is a Man-made underground passage in the interior of the rath. There is no visible trace at ground level.
