What is recorded here
One chamber, three satellites, five metres apart on a Kerry ridge. No wall, no door, no handle, only a circle of limestone and sandstone high enough to sit inside. Mangerton still stands to the south, unchanged, while grass and forgotten time do the work of keeping the shape alive.
In a heavily overgrown area of rough pasture, on the S-facing slopes of a ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A roughly circular cairn (diam. 1.9m; H 0.5m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-119004-) is c. 7m to the NE, another (KE067-119010-) is c. 8m to the NW and another (KE067-119009-) is c. 5m to the S. (O'Donnell 2001; O'Donnell 2003)
