What is recorded here

West Cork, Ireland: A collapsed underground maze inside a ringfort, with stone walling still visible through one opening. The passage may have served the fortress as a hidden route, storage space, or escape path when danger approached. Today the earth has fallen inward, blocking entry and leaving behind a shallow grid of hollows where a deliberate beneath-world once ran.

Maze of depressions and small openings, covering an area (L 17m; Wth 14.5m) in NW quadrant ringfort (CO132-030001-), indicates much collapsed earth-cut Man-made underground passage. Stone walling visible through one opening. Inaccessible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
