What is recorded here

No visible chamber remains, only a shallow central depression inside the ringfort. That missing depth suggests people dug beneath an ordinary ground surface, perhaps for storage, ritual or escape. The earth has taken the passage back, but the shape of the hole still points to the ambition that made it.
In ringfort (CO007-034---). Roughly central subcircular depression (1.7m N-S; 2.2m E-W; D 0.22m) noted in interior may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
