What is recorded here
In a rath (KE108-018----). In the SE quadrant of the rath are two depressions, c. 9m apart, each with an opening at its centre. These depressions indicate a general NNW-SSE orientation for the Man-made underground passage beneath. Through the opening in the larger depression (1.9m N-S; 1.4m E-W) at NNW, the Man-made underground passage chamber (H 1.6m), possibly earth-cut and with a curving roof, is visible.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
