Man-made underground passage in Carrigcleena More

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Carrigcleena More still hides a man-made passage beneath its ringfort bank. A flat slab, one metre long and half a metre wide, lies eight metres inside the western edge, covering an opening that may have led downward. The three small depressions nearby suggest feet, tools or repeated use, while the slab itself resists easy explanation. Whatever dropped beneath that stone, the ground kept the shape of the moment it disappeared.
In ringfort (CO041-10001-). Slab (1m x 0.5m), 8m in from bank on WSW side of interior, covers opening and may be lintel of Man-made underground passage; three small depressions (diam. 0.2m - 0.3m) also noted in W half of interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
