What is recorded here

Choked with rubbish in a Ballynoe pasture, the one-metre opening still points toward an earth-cut chamber beneath the grass. It lies beside a ringfort and a levelled enclosure, suggesting people once cut the ground to hide, store or escape rather than build upward. The passage has stopped being a doorway for living people, but it remains a record of their choices.

In pasture, c. 150m N of ringfort (CO018-044---). According to local information, opening (diam. 1m; D 1.5m), now choked with rubbish, leads into an earth-cut chamber. Levelled circular enclosure (CO018-046---) c. 90m to NE. 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
