What is recorded here
Caher (ibane and Barryroe By.) contains a man-made underground passage beside a ringfort. The narrow opening exposes a corbelled stone chamber, while collapse has closed part of the west side. A creephole still appears at the south end, suggesting the passage once led somewhere no longer reachable.
Opening (L 2m; Wth 1m) in S half ringfort (CO135-088001-) exposes stone-built corbelled chamber. Creephole visible at S end and collapse has occurred at W side. Further investigation not possible.
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.
