This earth-tunnelled souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located on a low hummock on the W side of a tributary of Derreendarragh river, which flows S from Lough Beg. It was filled in by a mechanical excavator in the early 1980s. It consisted of at least two narrow chambers linked by a creepway (local information). No visible surface trace survives.
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. 871. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
