What is recorded here
No. Underneath the Coologes rath, a hidden chamber waited for breath and lantern light. It has vanished from human memory, perhaps swallowed by soil or forgotten by the people who first shaped it. What remains is the shape of absence: a hollow place where knowledge stopped being shared.
In a rath (KE085-012----). In the 1930s Capt. D.B. O'Connell recorded a Man-made underground passage in this rath (SMR file). There are no visible remains of this possible Man-made underground passage.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
