What is recorded here
Under Raheens, a hidden passage waits beneath the soil. Local tradition preserves the shape of that absent chamber, yet no surface trace remains for a curious hand to touch. The earth keeps its own counsel there, withholding the very thing it once built.
There is a local tradition of a Man-made underground passage (KE080-029002-) in this site, but no surface trace survives of it.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 540. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
