What is recorded here

The entrance to the souterrain (KE091-050001-) is centrally located in the raised interior of the enclosure. It measures .6m x .5m and gives access to a lintelled passage, 2m long N-S, with sides of earth. At its S end is a narrow creepway which leads into a similarly orientated passage, 4m long. The passage decreases in height from 1.3m at its N end to less than .5m at its S end. It averages 1m wide and is roofed with lintels. Its sides are of earth. 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. 669. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
