What is recorded here
Ten metres southeast of a standing stone in County Cork, a hidden passage vanished beneath the pasture. It appeared on a 1940 survey but resisted later observation, suggesting human hands built a temporary or concealed route rather than a forgotten ruin. The absence of a surface trace does not prove absence; it may indicate that the passage still exists beneath grass, waiting for rain, excavation or memory to reveal its shape.
In pasture, c. 10m SE of cairn (7862). Man-made underground passage depicted on 1940 OS 6-inch map; 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.
