What is recorded here

Twenty metres north stands a megalithic chamber, suggesting the small cairn marked a boundary, a burial or a ritual path rather than a random stone pile. The main chamber still holds the purpose of the site. The cairn may have guided people toward it, recorded a name or separated the living field from the dead ground. Distance and direction matter more than size in this case.

In rough hill pasture, on a level break, on a W-facing slope, in the valley of the Dromoghty River. This roughly circular cairn (3.8m E-W; 3.2m N-S; H 0.5m) of partially grass-covered loose stones is obscured by gorse bushes. Traces of kerbing is evident along the E arc. A megalithic structure (KE102-097002-) is c. 20m 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
