What is recorded here

Eight stones stand with Cairn on the SW slope above the Dromoghty valley, spaced close enough to mark a deliberate row across rough pasture. Grass and gorse still choke its circular base, yet faint kerbing survives along the north arc. People may have placed them as a boundary, a gift or a warning to travellers descending toward the river.

In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. This circular cairn (4.2m E-W; 4.1m N-S; H 0.8m) of loose stones is partially obscured by grass and gorse. Traces of kerbing are evident along its N arc and possibly also at SE. This is one of a group of nine cairns (see KE102-091003-, KE102-091004-, KE102-091006-, KE102-091007-, KE102-091008-, KE102-091009-, KE102-091010-, KE102-091011-), the closest of which (KE102-091006-) lies c. 8m to the E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

A Neolithic cairn, likely dating to the early to middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its location and construction suggest it may be a funerary or ritual monument, typical of the megalithic traditions in Ireland.
