Recorded monuments

• KE021-018 Souterrain
  Description

  According to the landowner, a souterrain system was uncovered several years ago which has since been closed up. In 1969 John Deady inspected a souterrain at Ballysheen, Abbeydorney, but he gives an incorrect 6-inch map number and co-ordinates, so it is difficult to distinguish whether this the same one. In 1969, four of the chambers which ran in a WSW-ENE direction were accessible. The capstone of one of the chambers was removed to provide access. All the chambers were beehive shaped and constructed of drystone walling. (JKAHS, 5, 1972, 160-61) The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1132. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
