Earthwork in Lurriga

Earthwork

What is recorded here

According to Donovan (1876, 39-40), a Man-made underground passage (CO141-140----) was discovered in 1869 in a large field adjoining Clover Hill House on what appeared to be an artificially raised 'oblong mound'. The nature of this mound is uncertain and there are no visible remains of it in the vicinity of the Man-made underground passage. Its precise location is not known. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
