What is recorded here

Fire cracked the chamber walls while horse bones scattered across the floor, proving the passage served a living purpose before humans forgot it.

Roadside, outside grounds of Clanricarde House in suburbs of Cork. Discovered and investigated in 1909. McCarthy (1977, 143-4) interprets the results of the investigation and describes a stone built chamber (L 2.43m; Wth 1.52m; H 1.52m) with an entrance shaft (L 1.21m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.6m); walls corbelled to support capstones. Stones bearing evidence of fire and some bones, possibly horse, were found. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
