What is recorded here
That is the only fact available. An underground passage may have formed within the rath, but no visible chamber, entrance, length or condition is recorded. The river, slope and hut marks are clear; the passage itself remains an unproven suggestion rather than a documented chamber.
Roughly circular univallate rath KE044-077---- situated on an ESE facing slope overlooking the Owenalondrig river. The remains of 3 hut sites are visible in the interior and a Man-made underground passage (KE044-077004-), mentioned briefly by Curran (No.3), may have been located within this site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 450. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
