Man-made underground passage in Greenane (bear By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Under a small mound at Greenane, a blocked hole no wider than a man’s fist opens onto forgotten chambers. Local memory claims the passage still drops into darkness, though no one has entered it for years. The earth has choked the mouth, but the shape remains: a made chamber, buried and waiting.
In a rath (CO128-031001-). According to local information, the caved-in area (3m E-W; 2m N-S; D 0.6m) on the E side of a mound, which displays a partially blocked-up opening (diam. c. 0.2m), leads down to underground chambers. These chambers were inaccessible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
