Man-made underground passage in Gearha (dunkerron North By.)

Close to the second hut, but more centrally located, is an L-shaped depression, 6.2m N-S x 5.5m E-W. It averages 1m deep and 2m in basal width. A short stretch of stone facing occurs along its W side, towards the S end. This depression may represent a collapsed or dug-out Man-made underground passage (KE065-088002-). A short distance outside the caher at NW are a number of low, partially peat-covered, stone walls. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 590.
