What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. A circular cairn (diam. 4m) is largely grass-covered apart from the SE sector where stones are exposed. The height of the cairn varies from 0.15m in the W and N sectors to 0.9m in the SE sector. Intermittent kerbing occurs around the perimeter. There is an enclosure (KE093-083003-) c. 40m to the S and two adjoining hut sites (KE093-083001-, KE093-083006-) c. 70m to the SW. 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
