Described by Hitchcock (1854, 241) as following; 'Traces of a causeway from the fort [KE038-003005-] across the slob to the mainland are still plainly discernible'(SMR file). This site is again described in a survey carried out by the Irish Tourism Association in 1944-45 (MS copy Kerry County Library) where the stones are referred to as "a few remaining pillar stones in an ancient burial ground [KE038-003006-]". Interestingly this survey notes the existence of a "causeway" running from the ruined stone fort (Tonakilla Fort KE038-003005-) to the "neck of land adjoining". It also states that locals can remember seeing the causeway "faced with stone for 100 yards and a width of 20 yards" (1944-45, 13). Following field inspection in the area, this causeway remains unlocated. See field inspection report (NF8, 138-9) (SMR file).
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
