What is recorded here

Killogrone hides a false monument beside the river, where collapsed field walls throw upright stones into the forest like broken teeth. Henry recorded a standing stone in 1957, but the place may have offered only a hut field, a cliff-edge cattle pen and the ordinary remains of neighbourhood. The real wonder is that human border work can become legendary when memory leaves the tools behind.

Upslope from KE080-051----, on the E bank of the river, in dense forestry. A group of three huts set within an old field system. An oval enclosure, 6.5m in diameter, possibly a cattle-pen, occurs on the cliff-edge. Henry noted a standing stone (KE080-052007-) at this location (1957, 79). None of these features were identified, though there are some amorphous mounds in the forest. Most of the field walls have collapsed, leaving in places a series of individual uprights. Perhaps one of these was mistakenly identified as a standing stone. 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. 1327.
