What is recorded here
No visible surface trace marks the underground passage in Liscahane, yet it cuts through solid ground to reach Michael Corkery's fort. The hidden tunnel transforms an ordinary field into a place where human intention still holds shape beneath the soil. It may have carried people, water, breath or warning during storms. The absence of a visible entrance does not remove the passage; it withholds the shape of the lives that used it.
In ringfort (8469). Broker (1937, 49) noted 'passage to Michael Corkery's fort' (CO039-062002-). 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.
