What is recorded here
No visible marker breaks the green pasture, yet the land holds a hidden chamber beneath its surface. The absence of stone or soil disturbance suggests human hands shaped the darkness long before modern eyes could imagine it. What was built there, who entered it, and why the entrance disappeared remain unanswered. The quiet field keeps that much larger than it appears.
Situated in a low-lying level landscape. According to local information, an underground passage or Man-made underground passage exists in the area of rath (MO031-119001-). Aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVG 62; AVG 63) from the 1970s show the cropmark of a large pit inside the perimeter of the rath at W, which may be a macula, i.e. the site of an uprooted tree, as there are other similar features in the same field. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
