This souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located at the edge of a level terrace in land that otherwise slopes down fairly steeply towards the Caragh river at S. It was blocked up in the 1960s, but is still remembered locally as a drystone-built structure with 'steps leading down into a passage'. The field in which it is located is known located as 'Gort na hÓn' (Ó Cíobháin 1978, 61).
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. 889. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
