What is recorded here

No trace is now apparent of the 'irregular mound of stones' recorded by O'Connell at this location on the S side of Lough Currane. It measured 18 feet (5.5m) in diameter and 2 feet (.6m) high, and a spread of stone extended downslope from its N side. There was a lintelled 'chamber', 10 feet (3m) long x 2 feet (.6m) wide x 2 feet (.6m) high, at the centre of the mound. Its sides were constructed of slabs set on edge and one large stone occurred at its 'apsidal' S end. A layer of greasy black earth, 6 inches (.15m) thick, overlay its covering lintels (KAS). This site may have been a corn-drying kiln. 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. 1458. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
