What is recorded here

No visible entrance exists today, yet the chamber is a deliberate human vessel rather than a random animal hole. The narrow depression holds a heavy sandstone slab that may have bridged the top of a small cellar or crawl space. People likely cut through soil and rock to create a hidden room where heat, light and judgement could be withheld from strangers. The missing entrance does not erase the chamber; it withholds the final shape from modern sight.

In N half of ringfort (CO029-02701-). Depression (L 2m; Wth 2m; D 0.8m) with partially exposed sandstone slab, probably a roofing lintel. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
