What is recorded here
No visible surface trace marks the chamber, but beneath the SE quadrant of the Meenahony ringfort, a single oblong stone-built room waits under lintels. Hartnett found it in 1939, preserved from memory rather than modern sight. The absence of a hole or mound suggests the passage remained hidden even when the ringfort stood complete. Whatever human hands built it, they made a room small enough to forget and strong enough to resist forgetting.
In SE quadrant of ringfort (CO050-074001-). Hartnett (1939, 203) recorded single stone-built chamber, oblong in plan and roofed with lintels. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
