What is recorded here
Calluraghnabeepery/Ceallúnach na bPíobairí: This site consists of a raised, roughly oval-shaped area which measures 12m N-S x 16m E-W. It is located in low-lying pasture on the E side of an extensive tract of bog, between Knocknaskereighta mountain and Portmagee Channel. A modern field bank defines the E side of the site, and a 6m stretch of drystone facing at NW, surviving to a height of .95m, may be part of an original revetment. Up to fifteen small uninscribed upright slabs arc clustered towards the centre of the interior. This site is noted in the OSNB as a 'burial place for children and adult strangers' (Kilemlagh, 31).
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 1024. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
