Man-made underground passage in Maulikeeve

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Maulikeeve holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, yet no surface trace remains for anyone to point at. The absence is not emptiness; it is a invitation to imagine how people moved through darkness, hid, or changed the shape of the land before forgetting the way back. What is missing above may still be alive below, waiting for pressure, water, memory, or a foot to find its edge.
In ringfort (CO106-02001-) according to local information. No visible surface trace. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
