What is recorded here

Knockacarracoosh holds a narrow stone chamber beneath half a ringfort, waiting for someone brave enough to crawl west through its passage. Eileen McSweeney pointed to the hidden opening, while local memory claimed explorers visited during the early 1940s. The small depth and cramped route suggest people made it for secrecy, refuge or ceremony rather than ordinary storage.

In W half of ringfort (CO030-096---). Stone-built chamber (D 2.1m) with creepway to W, viewed through opening in the ground (pers. comm. Eileen McSweeney). According to local information, explored in early 1940s. 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
