The National Monuments Service's description
In a levelled rath (KE094-023----). According to local information, the entrance to an underground passage or tunnel, which extended in a NE direction, was closed up. The NE direction of the passage suggests that it is underneath the S half of the rath. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain and the area is densely covered with overgrowth.
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.
