Man-made underground passage in Lisnashearshane

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Lisnashearshane: man-made underground passage in a ringfort, County Cork. Broker in 1937 found steps going into the ground between two fences of the fort, probably a passage slanting eastwards, then closed. The ringfort is levelled and the entrance has vanished, leaving only the memory of a hole that wanted to be walked into.
In ringfort (CO030-11601-). According to Broker (1937, 53), 'steps going into ground between two fences [of fort]....now closed. Probably a passage going slantwise eastwards'. No visible surface trace; ringfort levelled. 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
