Description
This blocked souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located in a low hillock a short distance W of the White Strand, locally called Glanbeg Strand, on the N shore of Kenmare Bay. Its only visible surface trace is an earth-embedded slab, now largely concealed in overgrowth. The passage, which is aligned E-W, has been inaccessible for many years (local information). The site is locally called 'Cnocán na hÓnach' (Ó Cíobháin 1984a, 77). 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. 882. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
