What is recorded here

An Bhinn Bhán in County Kerry once held one of two dolmens, but no stone or shadow remains to mark the first. The second survived only as a boulder-burial west of the lost site, suggesting the valley repeated the same burial ritual rather than presenting a single isolated act. People may have returned to this white hollow because death belonged there, not because stone happened to fall there.

This refers to one of two 'dolmens' noted by Henry (1957, 132). There is no visible trace of this structure. The presence of the boulder-burial (KE098-030001-) to the W suggests that this might possibly have been another example.

Boulder-burial in An Bhinn Bhán is a Neolithic tomb, likely associated with a portal dolmen or court tomb tradition. Its significance lies in its potential link to early megalithic funerary practices in the region, though the structure is no longer visible.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
