Man-made underground passage — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Collapse opened the sealed chamber, revealing a narrow stone passage that sloped upward toward hidden doors. Lee crawled through the dark in 1932, measuring walls still warm from human hands. The forgotten entrance may still breathe beneath the bank, waiting for someone brave enough to listen.

In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO034-04201-). Investigated by Lee (1932, 24-5), who described beehive chamber (diam. 2.15m; H 2.43m); NW sector collapsed. Creepway at E end to passage (L 4.58m; Wth 1m; H 1.21m) which sloped steeply up to entrance (ibid.; McCarthy 1977, 178). Collapse in NW quadrant, just inside bank, allows access to stone-built corbelled chamber with passage extending SE towards entrance; not explored. 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
