This trackway, located 3.5m SE of KE087-006----, was first exposed in section in 1984. Occurring .8m below the bog surface, it now survives as a single layer of cobble-sized stones lying on .7m of peat. It averages .8m wide and runs 7.4m E-W. A peat sample from its level has been radiocarbon dated to 3930±90 BP (Mitchell 1989,75).
Further peat-cutting in 1988 uncovered another feature, 6m to S. This consists of a number of stones, forming a basin-like arrangement, .7m in diameter, which contains a deposit of charcoal. It has been interpreted as a hearth by Mitchell (1989, 76).
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. 28. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
