Man-made underground passage in Creagh More

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Ten metres of collapsed darkness still mark the south-east quadrant of the Creagh More ringfort, preserving the ghost of a passage built by human hands. Whether it served as a hidden retreat, a storage vault or a forgotten ritual path, the hollow proves people shaped that land before memory faded. The earth swallowed the structure, yet the crater remains sharp enough to warn that creativity and collapse belong to the same place.
Hollow (diam. c. 10m) in SE quadrant of ringfort (CO135-082001-) indicates presence of collapsed Man-made underground passage. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
