Burial in Caher (corkaguiny By.)

Burial

What is recorded here

Caher is a vanished circular cashel in County Kerry, Ireland. Large bones appeared in an underground passage when stones were removed in 1832. The earth kept its dead long before human memory, and the chamber may have belonged to someone whose name never reached us.
There is no visible trace of circular cashel KE036-007---- marked on the OS maps. There was reputedly a Man-made underground passage within the enclosure and 'large bones were found in it when removing the stones in 1832'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 639. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

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.
