What is recorded here

No visible surface trace remains above the Mullagh ringfort, yet local information claims a man-made passage cuts through the earth below. The absence of marks on the ground does not diminish the claim; it suggests the builders valued concealment as much as structure. Perhaps the hole was hidden deliberately, preserving a route for people who needed to disappear when danger approached.

According to local information, Man-made underground passage in ringfort (CO118-022001-). No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
