What is recorded here

Carrigacrump ringfort in County Cork, Ireland holds a shallow depression in its south-east quadrant. The hole stretches three metres north-south, one and a half metres east-west and drops thirty centimetres, suggesting a man-made underground passage collapsed rather than a natural hollow. People may have dug the passage to hide, store or escape, while the earth took the roof back.
In SE quadrant of ringfort (CO088-027---). Depression (3m N-S; 1.5m E-W; D 0.3m) may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
