The National Monuments Service's description
The OSNB noted that the area immediately surrounding the site was tilled and the 'cave' closed in (Templeno, 42). There is now no trace of the souterrain (KE092-021001-). The site was located a short distance W of a stream in an area of dense vegetation.
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. 648. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
