What is recorded here

Two stone chambers and a narrow creepway still hide beneath Lisnasallagh, recorded in the nineteenth century and perhaps waiting beside the old church. The description makes them sound like a small underground house, with one room reached through a passage aligned to the other. They may have served worship, storage or refuge, yet no marker now tells which.

Gillman (1896, 422), quoting from a letter from Mr Newenham to Crofton Croker, recorded a stone-lined Man-made underground passage at 'Kilcrumpher'. McCarthy (1977, 269-70), after Croker, described two beehive cells joined by creepway; cell 1 entered by creepway orientated along same line as creepway to cell 2. Exact location not known but possibly in the townland of Lisnasallagh as is the church of Kilcrumper (CO027-11401-). 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
