Located on a ridge above Glan Lough from which it commands a broad view of Kenmare Bay and the intervening low-lying land to SE, this tall, weathered stone stands 2m high and measures 1.12m x .42m at base; NE-SW. It is of regular elevation, and a long rectangular flake has spalled from its NW edge. 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. 132. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

An opening to this souterrain is located at the NE side of a NW-SE field boundary in an area of level pasture a short distance NNE of Glan Lough, Immediately inside the opening is a sheer drop of at least 2m into what appears to be an oval-shaped lintelled chamber with sides of earth. At its W end is a small creepway. It was not possible to investigate the souterrain further. It is not marked on the OS maps. 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. 845.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
