Man-made underground passage in Moneycusker

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

In the rear garden of a house, on a NNW-facing slope. This possible Man-made underground passage was discovered in 2001 during the digging of a soak-pit. According to local information, it consisted of a stone-lined chamber (c. 6m NE-SW; H c. 1m), the roof of which was c. 1m beneath ground level. There are no visible remains of this possible Man-made underground passage that was infilled prior to inspection. 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.
