What is recorded here

Eight cairns form a rough arc inside an ancient Kerry enclosure, waiting for the dead or the forgotten to return. This sod-covered oval measures six metres across and rises seventy centimetres above the grass, with kerbstones pressing through like broken teeth. The stones expose themselves in the southwest, perhaps dropped by hands that stopped building before the circle closed.

One of a group of eight cairns (see KE093-094002-, KE093-094004-, KE093-094005-, KE093-094006-, 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 oval cairn (6m E-W; 3.2m N-S; H 0.7m) has possible kerbstones protruding through the sod at intervals around its base. Stones of various sizes and shapes are exposed in the SW sector. Another cairn (KE093-094004-) lies 8m to the N. 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
