What is recorded here
Keenrath holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, still open according to local tradition. The ringfort interior has become so overgrown that nobody can inspect what the passage contains or how far it reaches. The region may be waiting for someone to clear the vines and discover whether the tunnel is a refuge, a trap or a forgotten road.
In ringfort (CO093-06001-). Local tradition of Man-made underground passage, still open. Interior of ringfort too overgrown to inspect.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
