What is recorded here
Farranamanagh Lough still laps the promontory where underground chambers once opened, though soil and forgetting have buried the entrance. Local tradition preserves the shape of the loss: a man-made passage beneath the water’s edge, now invisible and impossible to point at. The lake keeps what the land released, turning a forgotten structure into a rumour that moves when the wind changes.
On promontory extending into Farranamanagh Lough. Local tradition of underground chambers; now filled in. 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.
