Man-made underground passage in Doonasleen East

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Doonasleen East holds a hidden chamber inside its ancient fort, lost beneath soil and silence. Bowman recorded the infilled passage in 1934, but no surface trace remains for modern eyes to find. The earth swallowed the work of human hands, leaving behind a vacant shape that imagination can still occupy.
In ringfort (CO029-01401-). Bowman (1934, 504) recorded an infilled Man-made underground passage here. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
