What is recorded here

Kippagh holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, marked only by two shallow holes and a long stone near the centre. The build suggests people cut through solid earth to create a hidden route, perhaps for trade, flight or ceremony. The exact purpose has faded, but the shape remains clear: a narrow tunnel dug through living land.

In ringfort (8405). Two holes (diam. c. 0.7m) to E of centre and stone (L c. 1m; 0.5m x 0.2m) at centre may indicate position. 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
