What is recorded here
That is a man-made underground passage in Drombane (glanarought By.), County Kerry, Ireland. It lies within a children's burial ground and an ecclesiastical enclosure. A grassy passage slopes downward to a collapsed opening where the curved roof and cut sides are still visible.
In the NW quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (KE102-019003-) and within a children's burial ground (KE102-019002-). A downsloping grassy passage (L 2.5m; Wth 2m) S-N leads to a collapsed opening (D 1.6m) where the earth-cut sides and the curved roof of the Man-made underground passage are evident. A concave depression (diam. 1.2m; D 0.6m) to the E of the opening is probably the result of a collapse within the 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.
