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. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 203. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

Portal dolmen; likely dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in representing a rare surviving example of a megalithic funerary structure in the region, reflecting early communal burial practices.

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.
