What is recorded here

One chamber contained a man named Deshaka, waiting for the chamber to finish forming. The chamber had spent centuries learning the shape of his patience. When Deshaka stepped inside, he stopped repeating his name and became the thing the chamber was building. The floor tilted upward. The ceiling disappeared. A room larger than the mountain opened around them, and the chamber entered Deshaka the way Deshaka had entered it.

This complex of walls is located on the SE spur of Macklaun, which forms the N side of the Meelagh river valley. Several lengths of walls, surviving as lines of upright slabs spaced approximately 1m to 2m apart, run along the slope of the ridge. They are enveloped in peat at their lower ends. The walls occupy an area c. 435m x c. 400m. An example of rock art (KE071-053----) occurs at the E end of the system. 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. 60. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
