What is recorded here
No visible surface trace in Lios Ó Móine, yet a large man-made passage cuts through the interior ringfort. Stone chambers hidden beneath ordinary ground suggest people valued what cannot be seen. The absence of marks above makes the cave more striking, as if the earth swallowed a room and kept it intact.
Large cave in interior ringfort (CO153-006001-) according to OS Name Books. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
