The ITA recorded a souterrain situated in woodland at this location (1943, Knockane). The field in which it occurs is known as the 'Engine Field', named after a saw-mill which ceased operations in the 1960s. The field is now heavily overgrown with scrub, and the entrance to the souterrain could not be located. It was described as a lintelled chamber, about 4 feet (1.22m) square with 'sides built of fairly large stones', and two blocked passages extending from its E side (local information). This site is not marked on the OS maps.
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. 895. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
