What is recorded here

No one knows when the tunnel was cut or why it vanished from memory. A ringfort still stands above the hidden passage, its stones unchanged while the way beneath forgot itself. What is missing is not a mistake but a shape of life that stopped being seen.

In ringfort (8147). According to local information, stone-built tunnel discovered here. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
