What is recorded here

In a rath (KE085-005----). According to local information, the ground collapsed beneath farm machinery and a 'cave', in which a person could stand upright, was revealed. This 'cave', probably a souterrain chamber (on a NW-SE axis), had drystone walls and was roofed with stone lintels. In it was found a possible ogham stone (KE085-005002-). There are no visible remains of the souterrain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

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.
