What is recorded here

No visible trace survives of the large, partly collapsed souterrain (KAS) situated here on good, level land on the lower E slopes of Mount Eagle. A long stone axe or pick was discovered inside and subsequently presented to the Department of Archaeology, UCC. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 738. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
