Man-made underground passage in Ardnageehy West

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Ardnageehy West contained a ringfort with underground passages, but human activity levelled the fort and destroyed part of the passage before it could be studied. Power noted the loss in 1917, and no visible trace remains above ground. The passage has become absent rather than hidden, known only through the warning that it once existed and was taken apart.
In ringfort (CO053-001---). According to Power (1917, 7) this ringfort 'has been levelled and its Man-made underground passages partly destroyed'. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
