What is recorded here

No visible mound remains, but the ground still holds a knife-edge of black soil and cracked stone. The vanished structure may have stood forty feet tall or ten, yet it resisted every attempt to erase it. Under the grass and forgotten years, the chamber waits for someone patient enough to listen for the shape of what is missing.

In Bonane Heritage Park, on a SW-facing slope. A spread (c. 4m x c. 3m) of charcoal-enriched soil and heat-shattered stones is exposed in the ground where a coniferous tree has fallen. Similar material adheres to the exposed earth-covered root of the tree. There is a rath (KE102-031----) c. 70m to the NW. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
