Decorated stone in Kimego West

There is a number of incised carvings on the N side-wall of the first passage, close to the creepway. It is unclear whether these were incised into the face of the bedrock or only into the layer of dried mud which adheres to it. Of uncertain date, they include a number of concentric circles and a quadruped animal. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 602. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
