What is recorded here

Garranekinnefeake in County Cork, Ireland held a levelled ringfort and a man-made underground passage before the land changed. Power recorded the site in 1940, but the exact location has been lost. The passage may have let people move through the fort during rain, hide goods, or escape danger. It disappears now because the earth took back what hands had shaped.

According to Power (1940, 101) there was a levelled ringfort (CO088-08001-) with a Man-made underground passage in this townland. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
