Man-made underground passage in Cool

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Under the northernmost of four raths on Corrin Hill, a hidden passage may still breathe. A shallow depression east of the centre marks the place where people once dug through living rock. In that dark tube, human hands shaped stone, and memory has kept the entrance alive.
KE036-073---- is the northernmost of 4 closely-grouped raths situated on the E side of Corrin Hill. It lies on a SE facing slope about 75m N of KE036-075----. There is a tradition of a Man-made underground passage (KE036-073002-) on the site and a depression a little E of centre may mark its location. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 369. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
