What is recorded here

Yes. An underground chamber in Ballynadrideen has collapsed into a shallow depression at the centre of a ringfort. A broken stone still lies exposed where a roof once spanned the passage. The chamber may have hidden people, tools or memory from storms and hostile visitors. Its disappearance did not erase the purpose; it returned the chamber to the earth while leaving behind a shape that still points downward.

In centre of ringfort (CO007-05401-). Depression (2m x 2.5m; D 0.3m) with partially exposed stone, possibly a roofing lintel, may indicate collapsed Man-made underground passage. 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
