What is recorded here

In a rath (KE085-007----). In the 1930s Capt. D.B. O'Connell recorded that 'the opening of an underground passage' was visible in the rath (KAS). According to local information, this opening has been closed for a long time. There are no visible remains of the souterrain though an area of subsidence, which was noted outside the outer bank of the rath at NE, may indicate a collapsed chamber. 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.
