What is recorded here

Half a metre above the marsh, flat stones in a shallow ring, the children's ground west of the Kilduff river stopped taking bodies before the century turned. No upright marker, no gate, no name to argue with. The land kept its small dead and let the water do the remembering.

This site, which was no longer in use by the late nineteenth century, is located in marshy land just W of the Kilduff river. It consists of a sub-circular, stony area, 6.8m N-S x 9.3m E-W, which rises up to 1m above the external ground level at W. The stones composing the mound average .3m x .3m x .2m thick, but none occur in an upright position. 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. 991. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
