Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible passage exists on the overgrown surface of the northern half of the ringfort, but a six-by-eight-foot flagstone still stands in the grass as a marker for what lies beneath. The stone does not decorate the ground; it points downward, preserving the shape of a hidden route that human hands cut through solid earth. Forgetting the marker would erase the passage twice, once in memory and once in meaning.
In N half of ringfort (CO040-06101-). According to local information, marked by large flagstone (6ft x 8ft). Interior of ringfort heavily overgrown; no visible surface trace. 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
