What is recorded here

Kilbarry held a man-made passage beneath its southern ringfort, but local tradition preserves more than measurement because the way is closed and the earth keeps its secret. People may have walked that dark tube during storms, hidden goods or fled danger, yet no stone or entrance remains for a stranger to test. The region still carries the shape of that lost route even when the surface offers no proof.
Local tradition of Man-made underground passage in S half of ringfort (CO107-042001-); now closed. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
