What is recorded here

Rathduane holds a rock-cut passage hidden beneath an old ringfort. Men revealed it only when they dug barn foundations, proving the ground still keeps sharp edges and forgotten rooms. The passage has no visible surface trace, so it resists easy belief and waits for patience.

In ringfort (8554). According to local information, rock-cut Man-made underground passage found while digging foundations of barn. 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).
