What is recorded here
Cloghboola More contains a man-made underground passage inside a levelled ringfort, though no surface trace remains visible. Broker mentioned an underground chamber there in 1937, preserving the idea that people dug beneath the fort rather than leaving it empty. The earth may have swallowed the entrance, yet the passage still belongs to human hands, pride and labour.
In levelled ringfort (8161). 'Underground chamber' mentioned by Broker (1937, 46). No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
