What is recorded here
The first edition of the OS map indicates a rectangular structure (KE091-041001-), centrally located in the interior of the enclosure. This area is now marked only by a subrectangular depression, 3.6m N-S by 2.9m E-W, with a maximum depth of 1.4m. It is littered with rubbish and features a small opening close to its S edge. This opening measures .55m x .3m and is .7m deep, and it may mark the location of the Man-made underground passage.
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. 672. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
