What is recorded here
Kilberrihert holds two hidden chambers inside one ringfort, yet neither chamber can be pointed at because the earth closed over them. Bowman measured a shallow northeast depression in 1934 and called it the ghost of one chamber; the second has no marker at all. The forgers did not build a palace large enough to photograph. They dug small, went down, and let the grass forget them.
In ringfort (CO015-02101-). Bowman (1934, 630) noted that 'on the north-east is a depression, covering c. 28 sq. yds., which indicates the site of another Man-made underground passage'. No visible surface trace. Second Man-made underground passage (CO015-02102-) also in fort.
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.
