Man-made underground passage in Lackanamona

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Lackanamona hides two shallow depressions, each three to four metres wide, inside the north-west quadrant of its ringfort. They may be the collapsed roofs of underground chambers built by human hands. The earth swallowed the passage, but the dimple remains, waiting for someone to imagine the dark corridor below.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO033-031---). Two shallow depressions (diam. c. 3-4m) may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage chambers. 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
