What is recorded here

Kilpatrick holds a man-made underground passage beside Brother's Fort, where machinery once broke the surface and revealed the hidden chamber. Gogan described a single room with one opening, but the collapse suggests deeper chambers beneath the levelled ringfort. The fortran still stands while the ground below waits for someone careful enough to listen.

Gogan (1929, 4) records single chamber with ope at one end, 300 yards fromBrother's or Brodar's Fort. According to local information, the ground collapsed under weight of machinery, SW of levelled ringfort (CO096-058---) near Brothersfort House c. 40 years ago. 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
