What is recorded here

This shell midden was located on the N facing shore-line a short distance W of the landward end of Cromane Spit and c. 1.2km S of KE055-002----. It was composed of cockle, mussel and limpet shells and measured 1.4m long and up to .1m thick. Occurring at a depth of .5m below the top of the sand-face, it was eroded away by 1994. 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. 5. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
