The National Monuments Service's description
The blocked opening to a possible souterrain (KE098-060001-), marked 'Cave' on the OS maps, is located 10m from the W edge of the site and is marked by a rubble-filled depression, 3.6m in diameter and .8m deep. On its NW side three lintel-like slabs are visible, indicating that a passage extends in this direction.
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. 676. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
