What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a NE-facing boggy slope overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. A cluster of three prostrate, roughly rectangular stone slabs, partially obscured by peat. The S end of the middle stone (1.4m x 0.9m) rests on an upright stone (H 0.4m; 0.45m x 0.4m). Stones immediately to the E (L 1.55m) and W (L 1.15m) are largely hidden in bog. Immediately to the S is an upright stone (H 0.7m; 1.2m x 0.4m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
