What is recorded here

Glanturkin holds a vanished underground passage inside a ringfort, lost when ploughing collapsed the interior. The earth swallowed the work of human hands, erasing the very tunnel they built to bend nature to their will. What remains is a flat field where memory and marble both break under the weight of forgetting.

In ringfort (CO100-00901-). According to local information, collapse occurred in interior of fort after ploughing. No visible surface trace. 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
