What is recorded here

In pasture, on a N-facing slope overlooking Berehaven Harbour. According to local information, a souterrain containing 'many underground passages' was discovered during land reclamation works. It was filled in for safety reasons. There are no visible remains of this souterrain. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
