What is recorded here
Dromdoohig Beg is a man-made underground passage hidden beneath improved pasture inside an old ringfort in County Kerry. A large limestone rock may still mark the blocked entrance, while straightened field boundaries have cut through the remaining earthworks. The passage likely served the fort’s people as a shelter, store or secret route, but its exact purpose has faded with the levelled rampart.
On an elevated area of improved pasture, within E-half of ringfort (KE058-058----); earth and stone field boundary to W. Blocked opening into Man-made underground passage, possibly marked by a large limestone rock (local information). Ringfort (KE058-058----), depicted upon first edition OS six-inch map, is levelled, yet traceable around the W-half. Field boundaries straightened and dissect area of ringfort, as indicated upon the current edition OS six-inch map.
