What is recorded here
No visible surface trace, yet local tradition insists a man-made passage runs beneath the Coarliss ringfort. The claim rests only on memory and story, not measurement or excavation. Forgetting is likely, but so is wonder: a hidden chamber may still wait under the grass, patient and unproven.
Local tradition of Man-made underground passage in ringfort (CO132-012001-); 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.
