What is recorded here
An opening to this Man-made underground passage is located at the NE side of a NW-SE field boundary in an area of level pasture a short distance NNE of Glan Lough, Immediately inside the opening is a sheer drop of at least 2m into what appears to be an oval-shaped lintelled chamber with sides of earth. At its W end is a small creepway. It was not possible to investigate the Man-made underground passage further. It is not marked on the OS maps.
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. 845. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
