The National Monuments Service's description
There is no mention of a possible souterrain in the published entry for the rath (KE021-102----) (see Toal 1995, 191, no. 762). However, from the information on the cover sheet for this souterrain record in the SMR file, the source would appear to be 'based on local tradition'.
