What is recorded here

The possible boulder-burial was located 24m to the NE of the stone row (KE082-007001-). Before destruction it comprised a large boulder, 1.6m x 1.35m, which rested above four or more small stones (Ó Nualláin 1988, 238-9, Fig. 14). In 1989 an area of 18 sq. m, centering on the original location of the possible boulder burial was excavated (Sheehan 1990, 30). There were no finds and no features survived to identify the nature of the site. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 50-51, no. 108). 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
