Man-made underground passage in Moneen (kinalmeaky By., Templemartin Par.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In pasture, on a steep S-facing slope overlooking a stream valley. There is a slight break in slope in the area of the Man-made underground passage, with a more pronounced fall of ground immediately to the S. According to local information, an opening (diam. c. 3m) appeared when the ground collapsed during the levelling of a 'hump' in the field in the 1980s. The opening revealed a stone-built chamber that was filled in immediately. There are no visible remains of this Man-made underground passage at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
