A lintelled opening, 1.07m high by .87m wide, is located in the external face of the caher wall at S, 1.6m above the base of the outcrop. It leads into a lintelled stone-built passage which extends to NE for at least 2m before turning to NW, where Lynch noted that it rose to the interior of the site (1902b, 328-9). Access beyond the bend is no longer possible, and an opening to this souterrain could not be identified in the caher's interior.
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. 597. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
