Man-made underground passage in Cnoc An Bhróigín Thiar,cnoc An Bhróigín Thoir — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Two underground passages, one cut in earth and one built of stone, disappeared from the ringfort at Lismore after Windele wrote them down in 1848. They may have had two entrances, one in the outer ditch and one inside the fort, and one chamber may have held a stone marked with round letters. The hill still faces out in every direction, but the holes have closed or been forgotten, leaving behind a fort that keeps its own counsel.

Lismore/An Lios Mór: Circular bivallate rath KE043-134---- commands an excellent view in all directions from the S slopes of Knockavrogeen. Two Man-made underground passages (KE043-134001- & KE043-134003-) and a hut-site (KE043-134002-) were formerly visible in the interior but are no longer traceable. The 2 Man-made underground passages recorded by Windele (1848, 421) are not now visible. One was apparently earth-cut, the other stone-built, and there were 2 entrances, one in the fosse and the other in the interior of the ringfort. One of the structures reputedly contained 'a stone with round letters on it'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 486. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
