What is recorded here

A stone-built souterrain passage (KE079-051002-) was accessible within living memory, through an opening adjacent to the first hut. It was aligned E-W, its side-walls were formed by a basal row of orthostats overlain by drystone masonry, and it was roofed with stone lintels (local information). No surface trace of the souterrain is now apparent. 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. 478. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
