What is recorded here

No visible surface trace remains of the stone-built underground passage in County Cork, Ireland. It ran NNW through a ringfort, 1.2 to 1.5 metres wide, before collapsing near farm buildings. The stones may have marked a hidden route for people, animals or goods, but the earth has taken back that much.

In ringfort (CO070-024001-). McCarthy (1977, 340) recorded 'collapse in area of farmbuildings. Site runs NNW. Stone built 1.2m-1.5m wide'. No visible surface trace. 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
