What is recorded here

Cairn stands on a rocky Kerry shoulder, a four-metre circle of loose stones dropping into a shallow central depression. It is small enough to walk around in a minute yet old enough to belong before written memory. The surrounding field marks suggest people still passed close, perhaps dropping stones or reading the shape in weather.

On a rocky shoulder, within a field system (KE102-074001-). A circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 0.9m) of loose stones with a circular depression (diam. 1.5m) on the summit. There is evidence of kerbing along the perimeter NE-E and at W. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

A Neolithic cairn; its construction and kerbing suggest ritual or funerary use, typical of early farming communities in the region.
