What is recorded here
No visible trace remains above ground, yet local memory places two hidden chambers near the church in Kilmurry. One lies forty metres south, the other fifty metres northwest, both buried beneath ordinary soil. People may have walked those passages during storms, prayers or forgotten work, but the earth has taken back their shape. What is left is a absence that still points downward.
According to local information, tradition of underground chambers c. 40m S of church (CO083-055002-) in Kilmurry. No visible surface trace. Second possible Man-made underground passage (CO083-055001-) c. 50m to NW.
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.
