What is recorded here

In a levelled rath (CO100-023----). This earth-cut souterrain was discovered in June 2003 when the ground collapsed during ploughing. The collapsed opening (0.75m x 0.7m) revealed two passages, one leading to the SSW and the second to the E. The former (min. L 1.1m) had a rounded roof, 0.6m below ground level and was inaccessible due to collapsed earth. The second passage (min. L 1.6m) slopes steeply down to the E into a possible chamber that was also inaccessible. (Ryall 2003b) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
