Man-made underground passage in Liscahane

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Liscahane holds a hidden west-facing passage inside a ringfort, linking two fortifications beneath soil. Broker recorded a flag marking the opening in 1937, yet no surface trace remains visible today. The disappearance does not erase the shape; it suggests the earth reclaimed a route people once cut deliberately through rock.
In ringfort (8467). Broker (1937, 49) recorded 'flag in centre over opening, passage going due West to Pomeroy's fort'. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
