What is recorded here
No visible surface trace marks the chamber today, yet Broker called it an underground passage in 1937. The claim points to a hidden cut inside the ringfort, perhaps a shelter, store or ceremonial space now lost beneath soil and memory.
In ringfort (8018). Mentioned by Broker (1937, 43) as 'underground chamber'. 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.
