What is recorded here

In a rath (KE108-010----). A collapsed entrance in the W half of the rath leads to a chamber which extends to the N. The chamber comprises side-walls (H 0.9m) of uncoursed rubble roofed with lintels (min. Wth 1.3m), some of which are in a precarious position. The floor level in the chamber appears to drop as it continues to the N. Accumulating debris, including stone from the collapsing side-walls, obscures the interior of the chamber. At the SW corner of the chamber, a possible side-chamber extends to the W. 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
