Megalithic tomb in Killelton (corkaguiny By.)

Megalithic tomb

What is recorded here

Kerry road works buried the Killelton dolmen, yet heavy stones and human intention still lie beneath modern traffic. The tomb escaped mapping and classification, preserving a rare address only memory and old measurements can recover. Forgetting did not erase the chamber; it merely shifted the chamber below human sight.
The location of this unclassified megalithic tomb was recorded in the Kerry Archaeological Magazine (1908, no. 1, 110) as follows: 'beneath the present road to Dingle, a little to the W. of Kilelton Church (KE037-025001-) is a dolmen not shown on map.' Its exact location is unknown.

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