What is recorded here

Within Rectangular Enclosure (KE090-005003-), itself within KE090-005----, is a rectangular mound of stone, .4m high, with traces of coursing at its edges. Some coursing is also evident in the body of the mound. 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. 935. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
Leacht in Ceapaigh Na Gcrann is associated with local Christian tradition, possibly linked to an early monastic or memorial site. The structure's form suggests a ritual or ceremonial function, though specific saints or cures connected to the site are not recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
