Man-made underground passage in Skahanagh North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Yes. An underground chamber in Skahanagh North has collapsed into a shallow depression inside a ringfort. People dug beneath the fortress, perhaps to hide, store or escape, and the roof fell after they left. The earth swallowed their work but it still shows through the grass.

In N half of ringfort (CO053-011----). Depression (7m E-W; 1m N-S; D 0.2m) may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage chamber; two smaller depressions to S and SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
