What is recorded here

Knox documented the collapsed cave of an old fort at the ridge's end in 1904, linking it to the O’Caidhins whose name still lives in Ballykine. The flat ground above the castle holds only fallen stones now, but the ridge itself remembers the weight of a people who shaped stone into home. What remains is a hole where a chamber was, a address written in absence rather than marble.

In woodland, located on top of a rocky ridge. Knox (1904, 100) records this Man-made underground passage as follows: ‘In the flat above the castle [MA120-033001-] a couple of stones have fallen into the cave of an old fort [MA120-033003-] which occupied the end of the ridge. This would be the Cashel or Caher of the O’Caidhins, who have left their name in Ballykine, Baile O’Caidhin.' Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 October 2014
