What is recorded here

Cairn is a rough circular stone pile on an east-facing ridge above the Glashievhee stream in County Kerry, Ireland. It measures about four and a half metres across, rises seventy centimetres, and keeps faint kerbing marks along its east-west edge. Two other cairns sit twenty-eight metres to the west and southwest, suggesting a small cluster rather than a lonely marker. The stones may have recorded a life, a boundary or a sacrifice, yet no written name remains to confirm which.

In hill pasture, on the E-facing slope of a ridge to the N of a tributary of the Glashievhee stream. A roughly circular cairn (4.45m E-W; 4m N-S; H 0.7m) comprising stones of various shapes and sizes. Traces of kerbing are evident E-W. Two other cairns (KE094-061001-, KE094-061002-) lie 28m to the W and SW, respectively. 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 roughly circular cairn, likely of Bronze Age date, possibly a funerary or ritual monument; its small size and location suggest a local or regional significance not yet fully documented.
