What is recorded here
Island-Dahill is a hidden underground chamber in a County Cork hillside. Bowman recorded local claims about the chamber in 1934, yet no entrance appeared when he looked. The land may have swallowed the opening, or the claims may have outgrown the evidence. Either way, Island-Dahill keeps its distance.
In ringfort (CO030-131---). According to Bowman (1934, 336), 'it is said a Man-made underground passage was in this fort, but same could not be found'. Interior overgrown; no visible surface trace.
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.
