What is recorded here

Curran (no.7) and Macalister (1899, 220) recorded here a stone structure defined by 4 large slabs set on edge. These measured from 3 to 5 feet (.9m to 1.5m) in length and about 1.5 feet (.45m) in height. According to Curran this resembled 'the remains of a ruined cromlech', whereas Macalister suggested it might have been a cist grave. No visible trace survives. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 203.
