What is recorded here
Cairn stands beside the Drimminboy River in County Kerry, an oval of mixed stones barely half a metre high. A hut site waits twelve metres west, suggesting the pile marked a home rather than a dead person. Grass still chokes the stones, but the shape remains clear enough to promise someone lived there, tended the river bank and left a small stone identity behind.
In rough hill pasture, on the SE bank of the Drimminboy River. An oval cairn (3m E-W; 2.5m N-S; H 0.45m), which is partly grass-covered, comprises stones of various shapes and sizes. There is a hut site (KE111-017001-) 12m to the W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
