What is recorded here

Lisnagrave/Lios na gCraobh: Circular univallate rath KE045-060---- with souterrain KE045-060001-, is located on level pastureland, at the highest point of a low, local rise that runs E-W at the foot of Knockafeehane mountain. The souterrain occurs in the SW part of the interior. It consists of a short drystone-built passage which now lacks all but 1 of its roofing slabs. The passage is 3.65m long NNW-SSE, 1.05m wide and .65m high. The walls are slightly corbelled and the N and S walls are slightly curved. The S half of the E wall has collapsed and it is possible that the debris conceals the entrance to a 2nd passage or chamber. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 351. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
