What is recorded here
Rathruane More hides a man-made passage beneath its soil, remembered only through local tradition. No entrance, tunnel or chamber survives for modern eyes, yet the story insists people cut through solid earth there. Forget clean facts for a moment and imagine breath echoing in darkness, hands scraping mud from stone, and a way of living that favoured what cannot be seen.
Local tradition of Man-made underground passage in ringfort (CO140-006001-). No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
