What is recorded here

Courtenay Moore recorded the closed underground passage on Rialli land in 1900, preserving the warning that a cow died inside it. The exact location has been lost, but the account still points to a hidden tunnel where ordinary farmland ended and darkness began. Perhaps people stopped entering after that loss, leaving the passage to keep its own secret.

Courtenay Moore (1900, 373) recorded a Man-made underground passage (similar to CO027-090---) also on the land of Mr Rialli [sic]. It was closed following the death of a cow.
