What is recorded here

Cairn is one of eight stones arranged in a rough arc inside an ancient Kerry enclosure, standing half a metre tall beneath a thin skin of grass. The arc may have marked a gathering place, a boundary or a ritual path, though no written account survives to confirm which. A person walking that field would have seen the stones as neighbours rather than monuments, reading their spacing as easily as reading a sentence.

One of a group of eight cairns (see KE093-094002-, KE093-094003-, KE093-094004-, KE093-094005-, KE093-094006-, KE093-094007-, KE093-094008-) which are arranged in a rough arc in the E half of an enclosure (KE093-094001-). This sod-covered circular cairn (2.2m N-S; 2m E-W; H 0.55m) has stones of various shapes and sizes exposed where the sod has been eroded around its base. Another cairn (KE093-09408-) lies 15m to the 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 Bronze Age cairn, part of a ritual or funerary enclosure; its alignment with other cairns suggests communal or ceremonial significance in a prehistoric landscape.
