Platform in Cross

This is one of four platform-like features (SL039-164----; SL039-166----; SL039-167----) cut into the steep W facing lower slope of Kesh Corran hill. It consists of a sub-rectangular area (c. 9m N-S by c. 17m E-W to the edge of the plaform) quarried out of the hill side. The quarried material was used to create a level platform. A number of grass-covered stones are visible in the interior and form no precise arrangement. It is possible that they have fallen from the scree on the higher slope above. The precise nature of these monuments is unknown: it does not seem likely that they functioned as quarries and a full elucidation must await further investigation (pers. comm. M.A. Timoney).
