What is recorded here
There is now no visible trace of the Man-made underground passage situated on a very gentle N facing slope c. 75m W of Tobernamoodane village and overlooking Short Strand to NW. It consisted of 2 chambers which were discovered when an overlying mound was levelled (local information). The porthole slab which spanned the entrance between the 2 chambers has been preserved. This is a semi-circular stone with a semi-circular aperture neatly cut from the straight side to form a low arch, .4m wide at base and .26m high.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 788. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
