What is recorded here

Closed to most people now, the Derrygorman passage still lies beneath level Kerry pastureland, not far south of three ringforts. It was recorded in 1936 as two chambers joined by a low creepway, entered through an arch stone at ground level. Only the smaller western chamber remained open, about 0.9m wide and 1.06m high, while fill blocked the creepway and eastern chamber. Whatever it stored, hid or marked, the earth has taken most of the answer back.

The Man-made underground passage recorded here in 1936 (KAS), on level pastureland c. 200m S of a group of 3 ringforts (KE044-057---, KE044-058----, KE044-059----) is not now accessible. It apparently was comprised of 2 chambers linked by a low creepway which was entered through an arch stone at ground level. Only one drystone-built chamber, c. 0.9m wide and 1.06m high, was accessible as both the creepway and the 2nd chamber to E were blocked by fill. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 757. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
