What is recorded here
One of eight, it crouches in a rough arc inside an old enclosure in County Kerry. Grass smotheres the stones now, but kerbs still show at the base, marking the edge of a shape someone built with care. The others wait seven metres away or hidden beneath turf, a small company buried in the earth.
One of a group of eight cairns (see KE093-094002-, KE093-094003-, KE093-094004-, KE093-094005-, KE093-094006-, KE093-094008-, KE093-094009-) which are arranged in a rough arc in the E half of an enclosure (KE093-094001-). This sod-covered circular cairn (4m E-W; 3.45m N-S; H 0.5m) has possible kerbstones exposed at its base, one at S, one at NW and two at N. Another cairn (KE093-094008-) lies 7m 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.
