Man-made underground passage (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Under Mr O'Gorman's pasture in County Cork, two man-made passages vanished when stones were removed and holes filled, erasing their entrances. Local tradition claims chambers still extend east beneath a shed, waiting in darkness for someone willing to listen for breathing stone. What was built there, who dug it, and why it disappeared remain hidden beneath ordinary grass.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Bowman (1934, 514) recorded two Man-made underground passages in Mr O'Gorman's land (see CO030-031---), noting that 'the stones were removed, and the holes filled in'. Local tradition of 'underground chambers' extending to E under shed. No visible surface trace. 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
