The National Monuments Service's description
David Sweetman inspected this souterrain in 1975. Access to the chamber was possible because of the collapsed capstone. There is a passage leading from the E side of the chamber, but it could not be examined due to infill. The other chamber is constructed of small stones.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1121. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
