What is recorded here

Coill Bhaile Uí Fhlaithimh, County Kerry once held a quadrant-shaped cairn built from collapsed wall stones and field debris. J. Cuppage recorded a short line of horizontal stones extending from its edge in 1986, yet the site has since disappeared. What remains is the possibility that people cleared a boundary, piled the rejected stones beside it, and walked on.
This site was named 'Stones' on the Fair Plan and described by the landowner as a pile of stones. It has now been removed and may simply have been a field clearance cairn. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 234. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 May 2013
