Megalithic structure in Cill Buaine

This site is known locally as a giant's or warrior's grave. It is located on the lower S slopes of Kilkeaveragh mountain, overlooking St Finan's Bay, and comprises two slabs set on edge, 1.05m apart, capped by a large, irregularly shaped boulder. The boulder measures 1m x .75m x .25m thick, while the supporting slabs each measure .45m x .8m x .1m. A number of recumbent slabs occur close by. 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. 1466. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
