What is recorded here
One chamber, one floor, one visible room. The claim and the chamber may both be true. The hidden part is no longer being discussed. What is missing is not a warning. It is a tray. That is the whole trick. There is no shadow chamber, and there is no hidden owner. The chamber has one floor, and the floor holds the thing being discussed.
A circular enclosure is marked on the first edition of the OS map at this location, adjacent to a coastal cliff on the S side of Knockstooka mountain. There is no visible trace of the enclosure, and the area in which it was located is occupied by a series of N-S cultivation ridges (KE105-005001-). A Man-made underground passage (KE105-005002-) is reputed to exist at this location (local information).
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. 657. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
