What is recorded here

Caherkeen keeps a hidden passage beneath its eastern pasture, overlooking Coulagh Bay while a possible cashel watches from the adjacent western field. Local tradition insists people dug the tunnel rather than nature forming it, yet no entrance or collapse marks the grass today. The land may be swallowing human ambition, or memory may be inventing depth where ordinary soil exists. Either way, the bay light still strikes the slope as if inviting someone to dig.

In pasture on E-facing slope overlooking Coulagh Bay to NE. Possible cashel (CO114-054---) in adjoining field to W. Local tradition of Man-made underground passage here. 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).
