What is recorded here

Kilmeedy East hides a single chamber inside an ancient ringfort, lost again when men threw stones into the hole after ploughing it open. The earth swallowed the passage without a scar, erasing the very place where human hands first shaped the dark. What remains is a vacuum in the landscape, a missing room in the world that refuses to show itself.
In ringfort (CO048-015001-). According to local information, single chamber discovered during ploughing and subsequently back-filled with stones. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
