Man-made underground passage in Maulnagirra — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Maulnagirra is a levelled ringfort in County Cork where a 1975 ground collapse revealed a hidden earth-cut chamber. The chamber measured six feet deep and three yards long beneath a rounded roof. People backfilled the hole, erasing the surface trace, but the sudden appearance of a finished underground room suggests human hands shaped the soil long before the land was flattened.
