What is recorded here

Located on the N slopes of Knockroe in poor undulating pasture, the entrance to this drystone-built Man-made underground passage was blocked in the 1960s (local information). The site was known locally as 'Liscoolcraheen' (OSNB Knockane, 45), which may indicate an association with a ringfort. No visible trace survives. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 865. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

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.
