What is recorded here

An Com in Uíbh Ráthach, County Kerry, may hold a buried stone circle and older graves, though no exact spot survives in memory. In the 1940s the land belonged to Mr. J. O'Sullivan, and a visitor wrote that the place looked like an old burial ground. That much is record; the rest is imagination. Perhaps people stopped there at dusk, not to dig but to remember that beneath ordinary grass lies a deeper time.

In the 1940s, a possible stone circle (KE097-053----) was recorded on the lands of Mr. J. O'Sullivan, Coom, and it was also noted that the 'spot also has the appearance of an old burial place' (ITA). The precise location of this possible burial ground is not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
