Man-made underground passage in Camp (corkaguiny By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Three capstones still mark a narrow passage beneath the rath bank on Corrin mountain, running north-northwest toward the Finglas valley. The hole is small enough for one person to crawl through, yet wide enough for breath, shadow and memory to follow. It may have served the rath as a hiding place, a entrance or a chamber for what people did not wish seen.

Univallate rath KE036-043 with Man-made underground passage KE036-043001- is situated on the E slopes of Corrin mountain near the entrance to the valley of the Finglas river. An oval, stone-lined hollow is located a little W of centre in the interior. It measures 2m x 3.5m c. 1m deep and is open to E. Three capstones of a Man-made underground passage are exposed 2m to NNW of the latter feature. The passage thus indicated is c. 0.75m wide and runs NNW-SSE for c. 3m. Three large boulders, visible on the outer face of the bank due S of the latter, may be related to a continuation of the Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 358.
