Broker (1937, 51) recorded a souterrain in ringfort (probably CO029-081---) in the 'Lios field' on Stephen Walsh's land. Discovered in 1864 when 'flag' was exposed, apparently forming apex stone of circular beehive chamber (H 6 ft). First chamber linked by passage (21/2 feet high and 11/2 feet wide) to at least three other similar chambers (diam. 3 feet) 'higher and wider as they advanced'. Block of oak, c. 3 feet long, 'with five holes in it as if for candles', found in second chamber. Stone covering entrance was inside fort, near bank (ibid.). Exact location not known.
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.
