Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Lisrobin East is a man-made underground passage hidden beneath a ringfort in County Cork, Ireland. Local tradition claims a tunnel runs under the fort, yet no visible surface trace remains for anyone to find. The absence of proof does not kill the story; it suggests the earth swallowed the entrance while preserving the shape of the journey beneath it.
In ringfort (CO022-022---). According to local information, tradition of a 'tunnel' under this fort. No visible surface trace. 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
