What is recorded here

No visible trace remains on the north side of the levelled Gortnacreha ringfort, yet local memory insists a stone-built chamber waited beneath the soil. Someone entered that hidden space before the ground closed over the evidence, perhaps discovering more rooms than they admitted. The passage vanished without breaking the surface, leaving only doubt and the faint promise that depth still holds what humanity forgot.

In N side of levelled ringfort (CO029-06701-). According to local information, at least one stone-built chamber was entered in the past but "there could have been more". No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
