What is recorded here

No visible surface trace marks the man-made underground passage in Clooncunnig, yet local information places it inside the ringfort. Build that hidden chamber in dark stone, with narrow steps descending past root and water. A person may have entered it during storm or ceremony, using the earth as a room when the sky became unusable. The absence of a visible entrance does not remove the chamber; it withholds the address.

In ringfort (CO144-015001-), according to local information. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
