What is recorded here
The 'Grave' marked on the OS maps apparently consisted of 2 upright stones about 3 feet high (.9m) and 10 to 12 feet (c. 3.5m) apart (OSM and Orpen 1908, 14). While digging the foundations for the house that now occupies the site, many small stone-lined graves were found and other graves have been recorded 100m due W (KE054-020----).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 192. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
