Possible megalithic tomb identified by Miriam Carroll, Tobar Archaeological Services following monitoring of a wind farm at Lettercannon, Co. Kerry 17 February 2009. Two possible sites, located within 5m of each other, which were described as comprising 'of a possible stone hut site and a possible ruinous megalithic tomb, the latter is a very tentative suggestion'. Both are located within a windfarm (under construction) but are fenced off. Monuments described by Miriam Carroll as; 'The site consists of a stone feature in a small clearing surrounded by coniferous trees. It is comprised of three large stones situated on a low rise and was somewhat obscured by vegetation, The upper stone measures approximately 3m in length and rests on two underlying stones of similar length which may have fallen from an upright position. The precise nature of the site is unclear but may represent the remains of a small megalithic tomb.'
