Man-made underground passage in Carrigaline West — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains on the surface, yet the passage still belongs to Carrigaline West. Local memory claims a beautifully flagged chamber waited beneath the soil, smooth and deliberate rather than dug in haste. That imagery suggests craft, pride and perhaps ceremony, even if the chamber has vanished or been buried. The absence does not erase the shape; it keeps the place alive underfoot.

In ringfort (CO086-07901-). According to O'Leary (1918, 122) 'the inhabitants of the locality assert that it had a beautifully-flagged underground chamber'. No visible surface trace. 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
