What is recorded here

In SW quadrant of ringfort (CO085-03601-). Coleman (1947, 70) records rectangular, earth-cut chamber (L 2.13m; Wth 1.35m; H 1.21m); barrel-vaulted ceiling. Long axis NE-SW; NE end collapsed preventing further investigation. Vent (or burrow?) at SW end extends for 0.74m. SW quadrant of ringfort heavily overgrown; no visible surface trace of souterrain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
