Platform in Cross

This is one of four platform-like features (SL039-164----; SL039-165----; SL039-167----) cut into the steep W facing lower slope of Kesh Corran hill. It is located up-slope and to the SW of SL039-165----. It consists of a sub-circular area (c. 8.5m N-S by c. 8.5m E-W) quarried out of the hill side. The quarried material was used to create a level platform. 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).
