Man-made underground passage in Dysert — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Dysert holds a vanished underground passage inside its ringfort, remembered only through Bowman’s 1934 account and deprived of any visible surface trace. The absence makes the claim harder to dismiss because somebody once knew enough to point at the hidden way. Perhaps the passage served the fort during storm, siege or secrecy, then the land closed over the work and erased the entrance. What is missing has not stopped the place from carrying a shape; the ground simply stopped answering every question.

In ringfort (CO031-03901-). According to Bowman (1934, 343), 'it is said that a Man-made underground passage was 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
