Man-made underground passage in Ceathrúin An Phúca — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Red soil and old stone still mark the cave mouth at the north-west corner of the rectangular enclosure in Ceathrúin An Phúca. Local story claims the passage reaches another ringfort on the southern boundary, turning the townland into one hidden room with two entrances. People may have used it to move goods, hide in storms or simply enjoy the strangeness of going beneath a familiar field.

KE052-050---- was marked on the 2nd edition of the OS map as a rectangular enclosure with a Man-made underground passage, known as the Red Cave, at its NW corner. The entrance to the Man-made underground passage was located at its centre. It was said to link up with another ringfort on the S boundary of the townland (KE053-001----). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 651. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
