What is recorded here

An opening to a souterrain (KE056-007002-) is located adjacent to the disturbed bank of the rath at W. A stone-built lintelled passage, 3.7m long, is aligned NW-SE and measures .9m high and .8m wide on average. At its NW end is a coursed wall and this may have been the original point of entry. A creepway is located at the SE end, beyond which the passage is blocked. 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. 511. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
