Man-made underground passage in Carrigeen (orrery and Kilmore By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No visible entrance, no chamber, no guardroom, no warning light. A hidden passage beneath ordinary ground. Build the visible chamber and entrance, then link them. That is a complete underground building.

Discovered during tillage operations and investigated by Cleary (1987, 155). Site ruinous and in dangerous condition. Rectangular stone-built chamber (L 1m; Wth 0.9m; H c. 1m; long axis E-W), roofed with lintels. Infilled creepway (Wth 0.4m; H 0.3m), roofed with lintel, at E end of chamber may have been original entrance. Only possible to survey one chamber though undoubtedly more exist in the west side of the site. Investigator noted 'surface irregularities' and 'low levelled banks' suggestive of ringfort (CO007-10801-) on S side of Man-made underground passage. 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
