What is recorded here

Three stone chambers hide beneath Coolnaharragill Lower, each ten feet long and five feet high, with a low creepway and arch stone linking two of them. County Council workers found the passage inside the caher in 1944, but no surface trace remains for anyone to follow into its dark, room-shaped quiet.

A stone-built Man-made underground passage (KE063-019001-) featuring three chambers, was discovered in the caher's interior by County Council workers in 1944. Each of the chambers was described as measuring 10 feet (3.05m) long, 4 feet 6 inches (1.37m) wide, and 5 feet (1.52m) high (Irish Press, 8/4/44). A low-creepway joining two of the chambers appears to have been fitted with an arch stone or porthole slab (Cork Examiner, 7/4/44). No apparent surface trace remains of the Man-made underground passage. 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. 570. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
