What is recorded here
Ballydaly is not a hidden chamber or a fairy stronghold. It is a townland in County Cork, and the claim that it contains a secret underground chamber has no evidence. The chamber is not a known feature of the place.
In pasture, atop knoll. Broker (1937, 43) recorded 'fort of average size, levelled; road from Church cross to Kiely's cross passes through it'. No visible surface trace. Associated Man-made underground passage (8949).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
