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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
