Man-made underground passage in Pallas (duhallow By.)

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible passage remains, only two faint depressions on the northwest side of the Pallas ringfort. They mark where people cut beneath the ground, then buried or abandoned the work. The clay keeps that hidden shape still, pressing back against forgetfulness.
In ringfort (CO032-01601-). According to Bowman (1934, 677), 'two depressions on the N.W. indicate the Sites of Man-made underground passages'. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
