Owing (Site of)

Owing/Óin: This site is marked on the first edition of the OS map as a circular enclosure. The OSNB noted that the area immediately surrounding the site was tilled and the 'cave' closed in (Templeno, 42). On the second edition the enclosure is marked 'site of’. There is now no trace of the enclosure or Man-made underground passage (KE092-021001-). The site was located a short distance W of a stream in an area of dense vegetation. 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. 648. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
