What is recorded here
No crevice, door or broken stone gives the passage away. The rath keeps its secret above ground, yet local people still speak of a made chamber below the grass. That absence makes the claim harder to dismiss, because there is nothing visible for doubt to grab.
The rath is locally reputed to contain a Man-made underground passage (KE096-006002-), though no surface indications of this are apparent.
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. 542. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
