The National Monuments Service's description
In a levelled rath (KE085-014----). A roughly rectangular opening (L 1.8m; Wth 1.3m) reveals an entrance (Wth 1m; H 0.4m), below ground level (D 1m), defined by a stone lintel resting on drystone side-walls. Other lintels are also visible in the souterrain. The entrance is blocked with debris. According to the landowner, the drystone and lintelled passage continues in a SW direction for 3-4m from the entrance.
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.
