What is recorded here

This possible souterrain was situated in a wood about six or seven miles from Listowel. It was known locally as 'Dominic's Cave' after an outlaw by that name who was trapped and killed there in 1823. This cave is also connected with Lord Kerry's heir who was taken from Listowel Castle and hidden in a cave for safety (2). However, the cave was closed up at the beginning of this century, so it cannot be examined (A. Gaughan, 1973). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1128. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
