Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Lackabeha East hides a stone-built underground passage inside a levelled ringfort, waiting for boots and lantern light. Men digging house foundations broke through earth to find its chambers, then filled the hole without asking what it remembered. The passage still breathes beneath modern feet, guarding knowledge its builders never wrote down.
In levelled ringfort (CO044-04401-). According to local information, stone-built Man-made underground passage discovered while digging house foundations. Back-filled without investigation. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
