What is recorded here
April 1994 broke the pasture surface and dropped two earth-cut chambers into daylight, one pointing south-southwest and the other north. They lie beside the old ringfort at Knocknaneirk, closed now but still shaped like a choice of routes. A third gap may lead west, waiting beneath the grass for someone patient enough to listen for it.
In pasture, on S-facing slope and in or adjacent to site of ringfort (CO083-136----). Ground collapsed in April 1994 revealing two earth-cut chambers one leading SSW, the other N; a possible third chamber may lead W. Chambers inaccessible.
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.
