What is recorded here

Leacht in Killogrone is a small stone grave reputed to hold Dermod O'Duin, sitting close to the dividing wall of a local enclosure. Upright slabs hold its edges while an ogham stone stands upon it, marking the dead with letters old enough to belong before written history. The chamber is tiny, yet it still points toward the person it buried.

This small leacht reputed to be the grave of Dermod O'Duin (OSNB Caher, 30), is located close to the N angle of the internal dividing wall of the enclosure (KE080-046001-). Composed of stone, it is .3m high and 2.4m square. A number of upright slabs retain its E, S and W sides, and an ogham stone stands on it. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 959.

Leacht in Killogrone is associated with Dermod O'Duin, a figure mentioned in early Irish ecclesiastical records, and is thought to mark his burial site. Little folklore or specific tradition is recorded for the location, though such early Christian graves often became focal points for local veneration and ritual.
