What is recorded here

Half a metre of grassy stone rises from the bog on a NE-facing slope above Lough Inchiquin, marking a boundary still visible in the adjacent wall. The cairn sits in rough hill pasture, small enough to step over yet distinct enough to have survived every change of ownership and season. It may have guided a herder, marked a dead person or simply divided one family's grass from another. In either case, the stones refused to disappear.

In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of Lough Inchiquin. A circular cairn (diam. 2.5m; H 0.75m) of grass-covered stones, varying in size and shape, protrudes above the surface of the bog. This cairn is 4m E of a relict wall which forms part of a network of field boundaries (KE101-101001-). 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 of Bronze Age date, possibly serving as a funerary or ritual monument; its location and construction suggest a connection to early pastoral and ceremonial landscapes in the region.
