Man-made underground passage in Imleach An Daingin (tc An Daingean) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Under the destroyed rath near the old Dingle railway station, a hidden passage waited for footsteps. People built it beneath the soil, perhaps to keep warm, hide treasure or escape rain. The ogham stone that once framed its opening now leans against a field wall, stripped of its chamber but still carrying the shape of that lost door.

An ogham stone (KE053-016002-) stands against the W side of a N-S field wall in a field on the W side of the main Dingle to Lispole road, near the old Dingle railway station. It formerly acted either as a lintel or as a jamb stone to a Man-made underground passage (KE053-016001-) in a destroyed rath (KE053-016----) in the same field (Windele 1848, 395-7; Brash 1879, 216-7). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 674. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
