What is recorded here

No one knows the exact length, gradient or purpose of the missing passage, but the claim is not that it does not exist. The absence of a visible entrance is not the same as absence of the passage. The story is that human hands cut through solid ground, and the earth still hides the result.

Local tradition of underground passages in ringfort (CO096-04501-). 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
