What is recorded here
Under the south-facing slope in Cappeen East, a man-made passage waits in darkness. Local tradition claims it still exists, yet no entrance, tunnel mouth or broken stone marks the ground above. The earth keeps the shape of human hands while denying the world access to them.
On S facing slope. Local tradition of Man-made underground passage. 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.
