What is recorded here

In a possible rath (CO129-021001-). An earth-cut souterrain, tunnelled out of blue till clay, was discovered here in 1964 (NMI file). It consisted of four linked passages arranged in a zig-zag fashion, and a NE-SW chamber (H 3 feet [0.91m]; Wth 5 feet [1.5m]). Much of the chamber was filled with debris spreading from its SW end but, from what could be seen of it, it differed little in height and width from the passages. 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.
