What is recorded here
Under a Cork ringfort, a collapsed chamber still holds three narrow creepways cut into living earth. The entrance may hide inside a shallow eastern hollow, waiting for someone brave enough to crawl toward darkness.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO070-040001-). Small hollow sloping downwards in an easterly direction may indicate entrance. Some 4m E of this is collapse exposing earth-cut chamber with creepways at E, W and S sides. Not explored.
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.
