What is recorded here
Cairn is an unclassified circular stone stack in County Kerry, Ireland. It sits on a south-facing slope above the Glantrasna River valley, measuring 3.6 metres north-south and 3.4 metres east-west. Grass covers most of its upper surface, hiding the loose stones beneath. A second cairn lies seven metres to the northeast, suggesting the slope once held more than one marker.
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. A circular cairn (3.6m N-S; 3.4m E-W; H 0.55m) of loose stones, exposed intermittently on a mainly grass-covered upper surface. Another cairn (KE109-001008-) is c. 7m to the NE.
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.
