What is recorded here
This Man-made underground passage, not marked on the OS maps, is located on a small rise in rough pasture about 70m SE of a rath (KE080-005----). Access is through a small opening, .6m x .25m, from which the passage appears to extend to NE. Its side-walls are built of horizontal courses of flat slabs and three lintels are visible. Infill blocks the passage, preventing access.
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. 905. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
