The National Monuments Service's description
This souterrain was located towards the mouth of the Cloon valley, a short distance SE of the Owenroe river. Sometime around the 1920s the stones used in its construction were quarried away, as was the nearby standing stone (KE082-017----) (local information). No apparent surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 861. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
