Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In pasture, on the N side of a road in undulating countryside to the N of Dunmanway. In the 1930s an earth-cut Man-made underground passage was discovered here (NMI file). It was described as consisting of three chambers joined by a small passage. According to local information in 2005, it extends N from under a road and roadside fence and into the pasture field. It has been closed up and there are no visible remains of it. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
