What is recorded here

One chamber, no wider than an outstretched arm, holds its shape beneath hill pasture above Lough Inchiquin. Its stone floor and upright walls remain visible through peat and water, while a wedge tomb waits a few metres away. The cist is small enough to overlook, yet large enough to suggest that death, memory and ceremony once shared the same slope.

In rough hill pasture, on cutaway bog on a SW-facing slope overlooking the valley of Lough Inchiquin. A rectangular cist (dims. 1.15m x 0.47m; D 0.25m), within a shallow depression, is defined by upright stone slabs set contiguously. The interior, partially filled with peat and water, is floored with stone slabs. A small peaty mound to the NW may be composed of material removed from the cist. A wedge tomb (KE101-069001-) lies c. 2.5m to the NNW and a cairn (KE101-137----) lies c. 60m to the SSE. 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 rectangular stone cist, likely dating to the Early Christian or Bronze Age, used for inhumation burial; its small size and location suggest a local or family burial tradition.
