What is recorded here
Bawnmore North hides a man-made underground passage inside an early ecclesial enclosure, yet no surface trace remains for anyone to point at. The absence makes the claim harder to dismiss because someone dug through solid ground and expected another person to follow the dark route. That much is certain even when the entrance has vanished.
According to local information, tradition of Man-made underground passage in early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO015-04601-). No visible surface trace.
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.
