What is recorded here
Under the twin rings of Rathduff, a hidden passage may still cut through solid earth. The rath stands on level Kerry pasture near the Owenascaul, but local memory points beneath the turf rather than across it. That change redirects the whole place from a boundary marker to a threshold, inviting imagination into the dark space the stones conceal.
Sub-circular bivallate rath KE045-051---- is located on fairly level pastureland about 200m N of a small E-W flowing tributary of the Owenascaul river.
There is a local tradition of a Man-made underground passage at the site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 519. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
