What is recorded here

Half a metre of stone and memory on the south face of Knockleama, where the kerb still breaks the peat at west and northeast. A hut sits forty metres below, close enough to suggest the cairn marked a life rather than a legend. The field system around them still holds its shape in the grazing land, waiting for someone to walk it and remember what the stones were keeping safe.

In rough hill grazing, on a terrace of peat on the S-facing slopes of Knockleama and within a field system (KE083-023002-). A circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 0.45m) with traces of a kerb of contiguous slabs protruding above the bog surface at W and along the NE arc. A hut site (KE083-023015-) lies c. 40m to the S. 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 circular cairn, likely Bronze Age, with traces of a kerb; its location within a field system suggests possible ritual or territorial significance.
