What is recorded here

Rahoneen hides a man-made underground passage beside a circular enclosure marked on 1842 and 1897 maps. The passage has been recorded through local tradition and a Kerry Field Club entry from 1948. The land above has been levelled, but aerial photographs from 1949 and 1991 still showed the shape of the place.

KE020-057---- is marked as a circular enclosure on the 1842 and 1897 OS maps. Though levelled, it can be picked up on the Air Corps aerial photographs (1949), and it could still be seen from the air in 1991. Certain discolouration can be seen in the centre of this site which would suggest either house-sites or Man-made underground passages. There is a tradition of Man-made underground passages (KE020-057001-) in this vicinity, and these have been recorded by the Kerry Field Club (1948, 323). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 706. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
