What is recorded here

Skahanagh South holds a collapsed underground chamber inside a ringfort, marked only by a shallow depression measuring eighty centimetres across. People built that hidden passage beneath the earth, perhaps to keep warm, store treasure or escape danger, but the roof fell and erased the room. The for getful soil swallowed their effort, leaving behind a small dimple where human ingenuity vanished.

In NE quadrant of ringfort (CO053-047---). Depression (0.8m N-S; 0.8m E-W; D 0.15m) may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage chamber. 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
