What is recorded here
A collapsed chamber in the south half of the Ardnageehy East ringfort suggests people dug beneath the ground before the structure fell. The shallow depression still marks the place where the passage disappeared, preserving the shape of a hidden room that no longer exists. Whatever lived inside that chamber has vanished, but the earth remembers the weight of its loss.
In S half of ringfort (CO053-003---). Depression (2m E-W; 1m N-S) may indicate position of collapsed Man-made underground passage chamber.
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.
