What is recorded here

In the 1930s, Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded a rath, with the tradition of an underground chamber (KE094-038001-) in it, to the NE of a farmhouse and near a road junction to 'a place called Lot' (KAS). This possible rath has not been precisely located. O'Connell also recorded a smaller rath (KE094-038005-) immediately to the S and the site of another (KE094-038002-) nearby, on top of which the farmhouse was built (KAS). A possible rath (KE093-038003-) with a possible souterrain (KE094-038004-) were also mentioned, about 400m to the W (KAS). 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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
