What is recorded here

Kilcronat holds a faded ring of earth where a mysterious passage still cuts through the ground. The fairies may have borrowed the shape, but human hands clearly dug the hole and built the bank. That much is written in the soil itself.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Heavily overgrown circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m) with external fosse (D 1.6m). Bank heavily overgrown; gap noted to E. Man-made underground passage (CO046-049002-) in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
