Man-made underground passage in Kilcolman (duhallow By., Kilshannig Par.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilcolman hides a narrow stone chamber inside a levelled ringfort, waiting for boots heavy enough to break the soil above. Built with corbelled walls and four lintels, the passage measures only one point eight metres long, yet it spans east to west like a forgotten breath. People may have crawled through darkness there before records existed, leaving no name behind. The chamber still holds its shape, patient under the field, ready to swallow a shadow or return it changed.

In levelled ringfort (CO041-06601-). Discovered c. 1981. Opening (diam. 1m) reveals stone-built chamber (L 1.8m; Wth 1m; H 1.1m; long axis E-W). Walls slightly corbelled and roofed with four stone lintels. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
