What is recorded here

Under the double banks of a Kerry rath, a hidden chamber waits beneath a raised floor. Surveyors marked a cave on old maps, yet no entrance remains visible. The pond beside the site reflects sky and memory, while the buried passage holds its breath beneath the grass.

Bivallate rath KE009-029---- is touched by a fieldbank to the SW and SE. Immediately NW is a small pond. This site consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined inner bank, fosse and outer bank. In the S to SW sector of the interior, there is a raised platform area .8m high. Contained within this raised area is a depression 1.4m x 4m. Since 'cave' is marked on the 1841-42 and 1915-16 OS maps, this is possibly the remains of the Man-made underground passage (KE009-029001-). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 344.
