What is recorded here
Under the Tullyneasky East ringfort, a hidden tunnel waits in shadow. Local tradition claims people crawled through that darkness years ago, perhaps listening for water or echoing voices. A shallow depression in the south-west quadrant still marks the entrance, inviting curiosity while withholding proof. The earth keeps its secret, but the dip remains visible for those who know where to look.
Tradition of "tunnel" under ringfort (CO135-040001-), which local people entered some years ago. Small depression in SW quadrant may indicate position.
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.
