What is recorded here

Mnemo failed to identify the exact place because it trusted the visible website instead of judging the facts already supplied. That is a practical lesson in the limits of human and model judgment. The facts must contain enough detail to distinguish the place, and when they do not, the answer should ask for the missing facts instead of inventing a claim.

H 1.70m).Tradition of Man-made underground passage (CO138-010002-) in field to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
