What is recorded here

Rooves More hides a man-made underground passage in the centre of a possible ringfort. Local information claims collapse occurred and the gap was infilled, erasing every visible surface trace. The passage may have served the ringfort as a retreat, storage or secret route, but it has vanished so completely that only memory and a buried shape remain to mark it.
In centre of possible ringfort (CO072-072----). According to local information, collapse occurred which was infilled. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
