What is recorded here
Lackabeha East hides a stone-built underground passage inside a levelled ringfort, waiting for boots and lantern light. Men digging house foundations broke through earth to find its chambers, then filled the hole without asking what it remembered. The passage still breathes beneath modern feet, guarding knowledge its builders never wrote down.
In levelled ringfort (CO044-04401-). According to local information, stone-built Man-made underground passage discovered while digging house foundations. Back-filled without investigation.
