What is recorded here
Farranaspig is a man-made underground passage hidden beneath a rath in County Kerry, Ireland. A large stone covered the entrance until field clearance in the 1970s moved it to the eastern roadside. The passage itself remains hidden beneath the ancient earth, waiting for someone brave enough to find the opening again.
In the centre of a rath (KE066-043----). According to local information, a stone (L 3m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.2m) which covered an underground passage was removed during field clearance in the 1970s and is now at the roadside to the E.
