What is recorded here

No visible trace remains except a faint depression inside the ringfort, yet the shape implies a chamber built beneath the soil. The passage may have offered shelter during storms or hidden a chamber for ritual, but the earth has swallowed the entrance and erased the purpose. What is left is a dimple in the grass, waiting for someone to imagine the dark room below.

In ringfort (CO031-03201-). According to Bowman (1934, 65), 'on the southwest of the interior, is a depression, which indicates the site of a Man-made underground passage'. No visible surface trace. 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
