What is recorded here

Situated in gently sloping pastureland on the lower S slopes of Knocknakilton overlooking the Emlagh river valley, the 'splendid' Man-made underground passage noted by Ashe (1954, 29) is no longer accessible. A single roofslab is visible on the surface but no details of the size or layout of the monument are available. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 782. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
