Mound

What is recorded here

Death and memory are entangled there. The mound is a chamber for both, not a warning about either one.
Situated immediately N of a road which runs in an E-W direction, univallate rath KE015-102---- lies on low-lying land. It consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank and exterior fosse. Contained within the interior are small mounds which could suggest either house-sites (KE015-102002-) or Man-made underground passage (KE015-102001-) remains. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 536. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
