Man-made underground passage in Burrane — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Underground chambers sit NNW of a ringfort in Burrane, County Cork. Local information describes them as a man-made passage, though no date or builder is attached. The absence of a name does not reduce the strangeness. A chamber built beneath an open fort suggests secrecy, refuge or ritual. The earth kept what the surface forgot.

According to local information, underground chambers were discovered NNW of ringfort (CO123-027001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
