Man-made underground passage in Liscahane

Man-made underground passage

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.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
