What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Inny. A S-facing entrance (Wth 1m; H 0.7m) leads to a chamber roofed with stone lintels resting on drystone walls. The chamber extends 2.2m to the N, from where it turns to the NE and extends in that direction for c. 3m. It was inaccessible beyond that point but was observed to continue in a northerly direction. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
