Man-made underground passage in Baile Na Bhfionnúrach

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

On lower slopes of Brandon mountain range. A pair of circular huts set 5.5m apart. Now very ruined and partly overlain by later field wall. In the larger SE hut KE034-038----, a lintelled passage in the E section of the wall may be part of a Man-made underground passage (KE034-038002-). It is 1.1m long at least, .55m wide, and .25m high at the opening, but is now blocked. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1145. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
