What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, with views S to The Paps of Dana. A circular area (6.5m NNE-SSW; 6.4m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.4m) and an external bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 0.94m), covered with overgrowth. Part of the bank is incorporated into a field boundary at S. The entrance, with a causeway (Wth 2m), is at S. Coniferous trees grow in and around the ring-barrow. It is probably the 'lisín' referred to in the 1940s (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry) on Michael Kelliher's land. Another ring-barrow (KE068-011----) lies c. 20m to the SW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
