Man-made underground passage in Kilbeloge

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Kilbeloge hides a two-chambered underground passage inside its ringfort, yet no surface trace remains visible. The entrance disappeared beneath overgrowth and forgotten years. People walked those chambers before the grass reclaimed them, perhaps carrying fire, secrets or simply breath into the dark. The passage still exists beneath the soil, waiting for someone reckless enough to listen for its shape.
In ringfort (CO121-025---). Two-chambered underground passage entered some years ago (local information). Ringfort interior now overgrown. 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
