What is recorded here

Berrings ringfort in County Cork contains a stone-lined underground passage once roofed with slabs. People explored it in the recent past, but the entrance has closed, leaving a single roof slab exposed on the surface. The passage may have served the ringfort as a hiding place, storage or ritual route, yet its exact purpose has faded with its lost entrance.
In ringfort (CO061-154001-). According to local information, explored in recent past; stone-lined, roofed with slabs. Now inaccessible; single roof slab remains exposed on surface.
