KE010-047002- is situated on low-lying land and the W sector would appear to have been cut by a fieldbank running in a NE-SW direction. No surface trace of a continuance of this site can be seen in the field on the W side of the fieldbank. What remains today is an inner triangular area surrounded by an outer earthen bank to the E through the S to W, while to the NE there are what appears to be the foundations of a building, possibly a church KE010-047003-.
In the NE sector there are the foundations of a possible church (KE010-047003-) though it is incomplete; a raised area is evident which was possibly aligned E-W. It was not possible to obtain full measurements, but it would appear to be 1.1m wide. About 12m from the E end, there is a roughly rectangular area jutting out, measuring 8m x 9m.
This site is not marked on the 1841-42 OS map, but appears on the 1939 map marked 'Kyle Burial Ground (site of)'.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 858. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
