The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE084-020----). According to local information, a concave depression (Wth 1m; D 0.4m) in the centre of the rath marks the closed-up entrance to a souterrain. The landowner described stone steps leading down to an earth-cut passage, roofed with stone slabs and extending in an E-W direction.
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.
