Glanmakee townland lies to the N of Bealdarrig mountain and is drained by a number of streams that run SW to the Caragh river. Ó Cíobháin records three 'money/fairy stones' - terms used locally to describe rock art - in the N half of the townland (1978, 132-3). These could not be located.
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. 324. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

In rough and rocky mountain pasture (c. 260m OD), which is drained by a number of streams that run SW to the Caragh river. Directly overlooking Bridia valley to S and SW and Caragh river valley further to W. Overlooked by higher ground WNW->N->SE and Bealdarrig mountain to S. Ó Cíobháin records three 'money/fairy stones' - terms used locally to describe rock art - in the N half of the townland (1971, 132-3). The first stone (KE072-013----) is located ‘close to 100 yards’ (c. 92m) from the W boundary of the townland’; the second stone (KE072-013001-) is near a sheepfold in the NE area of the townland; the third stone (KE072-013002-) is to E, toward the gap (An Bhearna) (ibid). These could not be located.

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.
