Souterrain KE036-022006- consists of a drystone-walled passage extending N-S for a visible distance of 1.4m; probing with a ranging rod showed that it continues S for a further 1m before being blocked. It is .7m wide and .3m deep but deepens rapidly at its S end.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 577. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
