What is recorded here

That is the smallest chamber ever measured, no larger than a bedroom, yet it holds the shape of every room ever built. A crescent of earth, a flat stone floor, and an opening to the west where the builder stood before entering. The chamber is not a promise of more space; it is a promise that less space can still be complete. Everything larger is only this chamber repeated.
Situated NE of (KE001-045----) univallate rath KE001-034---- consists of a crescent-shaped area enclosed by an earthen bank, except to the W where it has been completely levelled. In the interior there is a circular raised platform (KE001-034001-) area measuring 7m N-S x 8m E-W x .3m above, the interior. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 146. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
