What is recorded here
Under Glannagalt, a field in County Kerry, a plough once bit through topsoil and revealed a ring of dark earth with a small cave hidden inside. That sudden exposure suggested a forgotten ringfort and an underground passage, perhaps cut by human hands long before the land became ordinary farmland. The discovery turned a quiet acre into a threshold, inviting wonder about the people who dug, entered, and disappeared beneath the soil.
A 'ring of dark soil' was revealed when this field was ploughed and a small 'cave' was discovered within it (local information). It is possible that these were the remains of a ringfort (KE036-061----) and Man-made underground passage (KE036-061001-).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 690. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
