What is recorded here
O'Connell found a chamber tomb and an Ogham stone in An Lóthar, but both have vanished without a trace. The earth swallowed what human hands had built, leaving no marker except the absence itself. Perhaps the stones broke and scattered under centuries of rain, or perhaps someone removed them when keeping memory became dangerous. Either way, the place still holds the shape of what it lost.
O'Connell noted a 'cromlech' (KE106-003004-) and an 'Ogham' (KE106-003005-) at this location (OPW), but neither feature can now be identified.
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. 608. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
