Man-made underground passages — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Two chambered entrances, roughly ten metres apart, still mark the collapsed underground passages in County Cork. Hartnett recorded them in 1939 as excavated in the sub-soil but internally destroyed, leaving openings visible yet impossible to examine. The chambers may have stored goods, hidden people or served a forgotten local purpose, but their collapse removed the evidence that would have answered the question.

Two entrances to Man-made underground passages (c. 10m apart) recorded by Hartnett (1939, 108), who noted that chambers are 'excavated in the sub-soil and have collapsed internally thus making them impossible to examine'. Openings still visible; inaccessible. 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
