What is recorded here

Death and memory belong together in that western chamber. The living chamber is absent, but the boundary remains: a circular stone wall, a small building base, and a narrow passage closed against the sky. The area is locally known as a burial ground, perhaps once a fort or early church. People may have gone down there to keep company with the dead, to hide something precious, or to mark the difference between ordinary life and the life remembered after death.

K106-118002- is known locally as a burial ground. It may have originally been a stone fort or an early ecclesiastical site. It is roughly circular in plan and is enclosed by a denuded stone wall. Adjacent to the poorly preserved foundations of a circular hut (KE106-118003-), at N, appears to be the lintelled ope to a blocked Man-made underground passage KE106-118004-; this measures .85m x .45m. 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. 1004.
