What is recorded here

Seven other cairns join this one in a rough arc inside a Kerry enclosure, forming a chambered tomb where the dead may have waited for the living to return. Grass still covers most of the circle, but rain has bitten through in places, exposing quartz and dark stone like teeth through a gum. The arc does not point to a road or a field; it shapes a room for memory, and the chamber beneath may still hold the remains of the people who first made that room.

One of a group of eight cairns (see KE093-094002-, KE093-094003-, KE093-094004-, KE093-094005-, KE093-094007-, KE093-094008-, KE093-094009-) which are arranged in a rough arc in the E half of an enclosure (KE093-094001-). This sod-covered cairn (3.8m E-W; 3.45m N-S; H 0.65m) is circular in plan. Where the sod cover has been eroded, stones of various shapes and sizes, including some of quartz, are visible. Another cairn (KE093-094007-) lies 4m 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
