Man-made underground passage in Baile Uí Bhuinn

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No two humans have seen the chamber because it is no longer there. It may have held a dead person rather than a hidden way, and the unknown hand that opened or closed it may have belonged to grief instead of cunning. The low rise in Baile Uí Bhuinn keeps that much more interesting when its shape is not known.
Two fields N of KE026-018----, on the summit of a low rise, a lintelled underground structure was discovered but subsequently filled in (local information). Local tradition of a burial ground a little to E (KE026-016----) suggests the possibility that this was a grave and not a Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 742. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
