Man-made underground passage in Freahanes

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Freahanes holds a man-made underground passage in the northwest quadrant of its ringfort, visible only as a collapsed cavity running east to west. The ground itself has swallowed the entrance, denying entry but preserving the shape of human intention beneath the soil. Whatever lived or hid there has vanished, leaving a hollow line in the earth that still points toward forgotten activity.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO134-100---). Noted as collapse in ground, cavity running E-W. Access not possible. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
