What is recorded here

Densely-overgrown rath KE045-035---- is located in wet pastureland on a S facing slope overlooking the valley of the Emlagh river. The interior is planted with coniferous trees and the hut-site and Man-made underground passage which occupied the centre of the interior have been interfered with considerably. It was reputedly from this Man-made underground passage that 2 ogham stones were removed for use as door-lintels in buildings in the adjacent townland of Lougher. Hut-site (KE045-035001-) and Man-made underground passage (KE045-035002-): A curving earth and stone bank in the centre of the interior may represent the N half of a circular hut. It is 2.5m wide and .25m high. A considerable quantity of stone has been removed from this area in the past (local information). Directly S of this is a shallow depression which apparently marks the location of a small, stone-built Man-made underground passage (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 520. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
