What is recorded here

Situated less than 1km downslope from KE079-073----, this site, not marked on the OS maps, is also referred to locally as a ceallúnach. It consists of a raised area which is approximately oval in plan and measures 11m N-S x 21.5m E-W. It is delimited at its W edge by a severely eroded, curving earthen bank, which averages 1.1m high above external ground level. The N and E quadrants of the site contain large boulders, which appear to have been deposited during field clearance operations in the 1980s. A small number of low, uninscribed slabs stand in the interior. 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. 1006. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
