Man-made underground passage

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Exposed stone slabs outside the outer bank at the NE side of the ringfort hint that a passage may run beneath the earth. Whether people dug it to hide, move or keep warm remains unknown. The stones still lie where they were set, waiting for someone to lift them and see what darkness they covered.
Outside outer bank at NE side of ringfort (CO060-075002-). Several stone slabs exposed indicating position. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO060-075003) within ringfort. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
