What is recorded here

Barrahaurin holds a man-made underground passage hidden beneath a Cork ringfort, where a six-foot saucer-shaped depression still mimics a cave mouth. The passage vanished from ordinary sight, yet the shallow dish remains as a ghostly invitation, waiting for someone to drop a stone and listen for the echo.

In ringfort (CO050-040001-). 'In centre is a saucer like depression 6ft diameter, which looks like cave opening' (PJH). 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
