What is recorded here

Thirty-six metres east of the stone circle, a rectangular peat mound rises from the rough pasture. A low stone wall encloses its top, marking the base where turf ricks once stood against the Kenmare Bay wind. The mound still holds the shape of human labour, waiting for the smell of smoke and the weight of winter to return.

In rough pasture, on a ridge on a N-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay. Ó Nualláin (1984, 30) recorded a rectangular mound (13m N-S; 4.5m E-W) c. 36m E of the stone circle (KE109-003001-). The mound, which is composed of peaty material, has a rectangular area (7.8m N-S; 2m E-W) on top of it, also consisting of peaty material, enclosed by a stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.55m). This feature is consistent with a 'turf láthair' or base for a turf rick. There is a field wall (KE109-003003-) to the N.
