What is recorded here

Seanbhaile Sheáin holds a buried passage inside its ringfort, lost when men filled the hole around 1936. The earth swallowed the stone work and erased the entrance, leaving no trace for later feet to follow. Whatever chamber or doorway waited below, it stopped answering human curiosity before anyone could ask it again.

In ringfort (CO070-076001-). According to local information, Man-made underground passage filled in c. 1936. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
