What is recorded here
Half a metre of stone in a Kerry field, yet the shape is exact: a shallow bowl with a hollow throat at its centre. Build that and you admit the land can still hold a chamber, a cache or a prayer. The LFU is no longer a vague smudge, but a small complete vessel waiting to be read.
'In the same large amalgamated field as the above site [KE038-091----], on a similar limestone reef is a low sub-circular stone-filled mound, 0.30m in maximum height and measuring 7.00m N-S by 6.00m E-W. A central depression measuring 2.00m N-S by 1.00m E-W is located 0.20m below the crest of the mound.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
