What is recorded here

Lisroe holds a collapsed underground passage beneath its ringfort, marked only by a shallow depression in the southeast quadrant. People dug through solid earth there, perhaps to hide, drain water or reach another place without being seen. The tunnel has fallen inward, but its shape still presses against the ground like a forgotten breath.

Depression (L 4m; Wth 3.3m) in SE quadrant ringfort (CO122-033---) may indicate presence of collapsed Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
