What is recorded here
No visible trace remains, yet local tradition insists a man-made passage runs south from the Caher ringfort. The earth may still hide a dark throat where people once crawled beneath the grass, linking hidden rooms or escaping danger. Forgetting the entrance is easy; remembering the shape of the hole is harder.
Local tradition of Man-made underground passage to S of ringfort (CO138-010001-). No visible surface trace.
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.
