What is recorded here
Burial in Lomanagh (glanarought By.) is a vanished grave marker in County Kerry, Ireland. Capt. D. B. O'Connell saw a large oval flag-stone resting on a low pile of stones near an ogham stone in the 1930s, but that exact spot has since disappeared from human memory. The land may still hold the shape of that loss, waiting for someone careful enough to listen for it.
In level pasture, on the E side of the valley of the Slaheny River. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell noted 'a large oval flag-stone which rests on a low pile of stones' in a field to the SW of an ogham stone (KE094-018001-) and another possible burial site (KE094-018002-) (KAS). O'Connell interpreted this as a grave site. The precise location of this possible burial is not known but there are no visible remains of it in the field to the SW of the ogham stone.
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.
