What is recorded here

National Monument No. 1227. Artefacts recovered included quern fragments, scraps of sheet bronze, iron slag and tuyère fragments. Excavation between the caher entrance and the hut revealed a paving of stone flags flanked with low upright slabs. A pin sharpener and three fragments of a quern from Cahergal are in KCM (1993:4; 1992:33). 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. 603. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
