Man-made underground passage in Roundhill

In pasture, on a N-facing slope overlooking Oldchapel. This Man-made underground passage was discovered in 1991 when its roof collapsed during silage cutting leaving an opening (1.19m x 1.13m). The collapse revealed a single earth-cut chamber (4.4m N-S; 3m E-W; H c. 1.5m) which was inaccessible due to the collapsed earth. Possible creepways were partially visible at NE and S. There were no visible remains of any associated rath. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
