What is recorded here

Indicated is a drystone-built grave in County Kerry, Ireland, discovered about forty years ago on the west side of a field fence. Conflicting reports still argue whether it contained bones, while a stony enclosure called a liosachán sits one metre east of the same fence. The grave and enclosure may belong together or may not, leaving the place half-remembered and slightly uncertain.

A drystone-built grave of 'average size' was discovered here on the W side of a field fence about 40 years ago (local information). There are conflicting reports as to whether it contained bones or not. About a metre from the E side of the same field fence is a feature known locally as a 'liosachán'. This consists of a confused, stony area, c. 10.8m E-W x c. 13m N-S and c. 0.3 to .5m high, incorporating a single orthostat .5m high. Its classification and relationship to the grave are not known. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 195. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
