Man-made underground passage in Castleconway — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No one has opened the hidden passage beneath the Castleconway rath, though local memory points to its entrance in the southwest quadrant. The ground above remains unbroken, offering no crack, dip or marker for the void below. That absence makes the claim harder to dismiss because someone must have cut through solid earth and concealed the result. The rath keeps a chamber no modern foot has tested, waiting for the first person brave enough to break its long silence.

A Man-made underground passage (KE056-018001-) is locally reputed to be located in the SW quadrant of the rath's interior. No surface trace of it is apparent. 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. 484. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
