What is recorded here
No visible trace survives of the large, partly collapsed Man-made underground passage (KAS) situated here on good, level land on the lower E slopes of Mount Eagle. A long stone axe or pick was discovered inside and subsequently presented to the Department of Archaeology, UCC.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 738. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
