What is recorded here
Under Lomanagh, an invisible chamber waits inside a forgotten rath. Capt. D. B. O'Connell heard the rumour in the 1930s, but nobody has marked the entrance since. The earth keeps its own counsel there, hiding a room built by human hands beneath ordinary grass.
In a possible rath (KE094-038003-). In the 1930s, Capt. D. B. O'Connell noted that 'there was said to be an underground chamber' in this rath (KAS). The precise location of this rath and Man-made underground passage is not known.
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.
