What is recorded here
Maulyregan holds a man-made underground passage inside a ringfort, marked only by a central depression in the interior soil. The hollow may hide a chamber where people once descended from daylight, perhaps to store grain, hide during storms, or speak with ancestors. Whatever they kept below, the earth swallowed the entrance while the ringfort walls still stand.
In ringfort (CO134-013---). Central depression in interior may indicate position of 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.
