Man-made underground passage in Dromdaleague

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible trace on the surface, yet two earth-cut chambers and a narrow creepway hide beneath the Dromdaleague graveyard. People uncovered the passage in 1975, forcing them to imagine what human hands dug there before memory faded. The chambers still hold half their secret, including a second possible crawl space nobody has fully explored.
In graveyard (CO119-06301-), to NE church (CO119-063003-). Discovered 1975. Two partially-infilled, earth-cut chambers joined by creepway; second possible creepway in chamber 1 not explored (UCC). No visible surface trace. 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
