What is recorded here

One chamber, one chamber and a half, perhaps two. The cave is a man-made underground passage in the centre of a ringfort in County Cork, Ireland. A creepway leads to a short stone-lined passage about 1.1m high, roofed with lintels, then it turns at a right angle and stops in collapse. The stone-lined opening slopes downwards in the north-west quadrant and remains exposed, while two hollows to the east may mark lost chambers.
