Man-made underground passage in Trawlebane

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

West of the rath, beneath ordinary grass and forgotten feet, a man-made chamber waits for someone brave enough to stop pretending the ground is empty. The passage has no marker, no door and no certain address, only a field on a sunny slope and a warning that certainty is missing. It is the kind of place that appears in dreams before it appears in life, calling the curious to listen for hollow echoes under the soil.
In pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking rolling countryside. According to local information, there is an underground passage/chamber in the field to the W of the rath (CO118-048----). However, its precise location is not known. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
