Man-made underground passage in Loumanagh North

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Loumanagh North hid a man-made underground passage near its fort, but the entrance vanished before anyone could measure it. That sudden disappearance turns the claim into a warning about trust: what cannot be pointed at must be judged by the clarity of the witness and the consistency of the account.
According to Bowman (1934, 518), 'it is said a Man-made underground passage was found near fort [CO030-001---], no sign is now to be seen'. Exact location not known. 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
