What is recorded here

Under the southern edge of a long, narrow pastoral field in Dromkeen East, two forgotten chambers still hold their shape. The northern one keeps a lintel stone and drystone walling, though rubbish has filled much of the chamber, while the collapsed chamber three metres to the south spills visible stones across the dark earth. They lie inside a sub-circular univallate rath, as if people had built a room beneath an older room, then stopped pretending the ground was empty.

Sub-circular univallate rath KE015-033---- is situated at the bottom of a long, narrow pastoral field. The enclosing bank is constructed of earth and stone. In the N sector of the interior are the remains of Man-made underground passages (KE015-033001-): The most N one is open and drystone walling is evident, though this chamber has been filled with rubbish. In the NE corner of the chamber, a lintel stone can be seen. Three metres to the S of this chamber lies a second one; this, however, has collapsed, though a lot of stones are visible. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 555. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
