Man-made underground passage in Glandine

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Glandine holds a buried tunnel beneath a low mound, waiting for someone brave enough to look inside. Workers digging for a house lifted a large flagstone, saw the dark passage below, and replaced the stone without entering. The abandoned ringfort stands nearby, suggesting the mound belongs to an old human hand rather than a random collapse.
A large flagstone was uncovered while clearing ground for construction of a house about 8 years ago. Beneath it was a tunnel (local information) which was immediately covered in without inspection. The site is marked by a low mound and lies c. 100m SW of a ringfort with Man-made underground passage (KE037-037----). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 766. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
