Man-made underground passage in Glasderry More

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Glasderry More in County Offaly claims a hidden tunnel beneath its ringfort, though no entrance remains visible at ground level. Local folklore repeated the warning that the passage still exists, waiting for someone brave or foolish enough to find the closing wall. The land keeps its secret intact, turning an ordinary field into a place where imagination must dig before a shovel does.
Not visible at ground level. According to local folklore there was a tradition of a tunnel inside the enclosure or ringfort (OF042-018001-) (Folklore Commission). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
