What is recorded here

This is located on the N side of the oratory (KE087-033005-) and consists of a subrectangular platform which measures 3.2m N-S x 3.6m E-W. It is defined by upright slabs set end-to-end on all sides except N. In its NW corner, and just outside the platform at S, are rectangular hollows, 0.3m deep and 1.6m and 1.8m long respectively, which are partially delineated by upright slabs. On the N side of the leacht is an oblong hollow, 2.5m N-S x 5m E-W, with a number of upright slabs defining its upper edge at W. To N is a raised area of irregular plan. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 966. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 13 June 2013
