What is recorded here
No amount of digging can reveal the chamber now. The region has changed so much that even the oldest memories have blurred into myth. What is certain is that the chamber existed, was built by human hands, and disappeared without a trace.
In enclosure (CO032-060---). According to local information, tradition of Man-made underground passage in fort. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
