What is recorded here

Camp (corkaguiny By.) is a univallate rath with a man-made underground passage on an east-facing slope beside the Finglas river in County Kerry. The passage is no longer accessible, but a probable air-vent still opens near the bank, suggesting a hidden tunnel that once cut through the hill. It may have served as a refuge, a store, or a sacred way of descending beneath the living world.

Univallate rath KE036-044---- with Man-made underground passage KE036-044001- is situated on an E facing slope on the W side of the valley of the Finglas river. A stone-lined depression, a little N of centre, marks the location of a Man-made underground passage which appears to continue in a NE direction but which is not now accessible. A probable air-vent opens onto the outer face of the bank at NE, c. 0.6m above the present ground surface. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 357. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
