What is recorded here

Under the central grass of Lissyclearig Upper, stone steps once descended into a chamber roofed with heavy slabs. People built that hidden room inside the rath, perhaps to keep treasure, avoid storms or perform rites that did not wish to be seen. They later filled the entrance, denying even memory a place to grip.

In a rath (KE093-002----). According to local information, the entrance to a Man-made underground passage was located near the centre of the rath and consisted of stone steps leading to an underground chamber roofed with slabs. This entrance has been backfilled and there are no visible remains of this Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
