What is recorded here
Na Huláin Thiar holds a man-made underground passage in the centre of its ringfort, where a hollow ground suggests a collapsed chamber. The passage may have been a hidden room, a sacred well, or a refuge for people who needed to disappear when danger came. Its shape is gone, but the hole remains, waiting for someone to imagine what it swallowed.
In centre of ringfort (CO058-061001-). Hollow may indicate presence of collapsed chamber.
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.
