What is recorded here
Killoe is a field boundary in County Kerry where an old wall abuts a tomb at SE and a slab-built structure, probably a hut site, stands 3m to N. The wall is not a modern line but a lived edge, marking where one claim of land or memory ended and another began. People may have walked past the tomb daily, measuring distance in steps and naming the place only when it mattered.
An old field wall abuts the tomb at SE, while a slab-built structure (KE079-088001-), probably a hut site, is located 3m to N (de Valera and 6 Nualláin 1982, 62-3).
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 81. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
