What is recorded here

Kilnagnady ringfort in County Cork, Ireland, contains a man-made underground passage whose entrance has collapsed into the northeast quadrant. The buried tunnel may have provided hidden escape, storage or ceremonial descent for the people who built the stone fort. Its loss reminds us that much of the local landscape still holds forgotten rooms, waiting to be imagined rather than measured.

Collapsed area in NE quadrant ringfort (CO096-02101-) indicates position of Man-made underground passage. 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
