What is recorded here

One chamber has a rounded roof, the other a pointed throat, both cut into the seaward face of the promontory fort at Dunworly. The sea threw them up after a spring storm in 1991, then took back the path that led into them. They still stand like a door and a keyhole, waiting for the land to remember how to open.

In a coastal promontory fort (CO136-100---). Two earth-cut openings, one with a rounded top and the other pointed, were noted in the eroded face of the seaward side of the promontory fort following a storm in the Spring of 1991 (pers. comm. Domnall Fleming). Photographs supplied confirm the possibility that these openings are part of a Man-made underground passage. The openings were inaccessible.
