What is recorded here

Under a Kerry rath in Mangerton, farm machinery broke through the surface to reveal a standing chamber hidden beneath the grass. Drystone walls and heavy lintels shaped a narrow passage running northwest to southeast, while a possible ogham stone waited inside the dark. The chamber has vanished again, leaving only memory and the risk that ordinary work might open forgotten doors.

In a rath (KE085-005----). According to local information, the ground collapsed beneath farm machinery and a 'cave', in which a person could stand upright, was revealed. This 'cave', probably a Man-made underground passage chamber (on a NW-SE axis), had drystone walls and was roofed with stone lintels. In it was found a possible ogham stone (KE085-005002-). There are no visible remains of the Man-made underground passage. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
