What is recorded here
Doire An Chuillinn holds a man-made underground passage in its northwest quadrant. The opening reveals an earth-cut chamber roofed with lintels, extending westwards into darkness never fully explored. People may have hidden goods, avoided storms or simply followed curiosity beneath the ringfort. The passage still waits, patient and unspoken, for someone willing to enter without expecting praise.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO069-001----). Opening reveals earth-cut chamber, roofed with lintels, extending westwards; not explored.
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.
