The National Monuments Service's description
In SW quadrant of ringfort (CO061-037001-). Investigated by Hartnett (1939, 171) who described a stone-lined passage, 2 feet wide, roofed with stone lintels. He could only explore the passage for a few feet but noted that from surface indications 'it seems to run 20 feet in an easterly direction towards the centre of the fort'. Entrance now closed up.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
