Mound

What is recorded here

Death and memory are not the same. They are opposites. This is why the chamber must be built visible and complete.
Situated on rising land, univallate ringfort KE004-023---- consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. A ridge runing roughly in a N-S direction down the interior of the site is an old fieldbank that is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land and three mounds constructed roughly of stone are to be noted in the NE, SE and NW sectors, measuring c 13m x 5m (KE004-023001-), c 7m x 5m (KE004- 023002-) and c 3m x 2m (KE004-023003-). Numerous cattle breaks exist in the bank, but an opening of 4m to the SE may be the entrance. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 223. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
