What is recorded here

No visible surface trace, but local information places a man-made underground passage inside the Rushfield ringfort. The absence of marks above ground does not diminish the claim; it suggests the passage was cut, used and hidden rather than built to be seen. The missing shape may have served entry, exit, storage or flight, depending on the danger facing the people who lived there.

In ringfort (CO095-04901-), according to local information. 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
