What is recorded here

In a rath (KE102-043----). A collapsed opening to a souterrain is visible on the external face of the scarp of the rath, above the fosse at S. The souterrain consists of an earth-cut chamber (Wth 1.5m; H c. 1m; L c. 3m) with a rounded roof. A creepway at the N end of the chamber extends to the N. A low ridge extends to the N along the centre of the interior of the rath and several depressions along this ridge suggest the line of the souterrain. Collapse at the base of a depression at N reveals a damaged 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
