What is recorded here

Glenaphuca in County Cork, Ireland holds a man-made underground passage with no visible surface trace. Local tradition keeps the tunnel alive because memory, not stone, preserves its shape. People may have dug through living rock to hide goods, escape storm or reach water others could not find. The absent entrance does not erase the effort; it redirects attention to the hands that cut through darkness and the reason they believed the other side was worth reaching.
