What is recorded here

One of a group of eight cairns (see KE093-094002-, KE093-094003-, KE093-094004-, KE093-094006-, KE093-094007-, KE093-094008-, KE093-094009-) which are arranged in a rough arc in the E half of an enclosure (KE093-094001-). This cairn (diam. 3m; H 0.4m) is partly sod-covered and circular in plan. Where the sod cover has been eroded, stones of various shapes and sizes, including some of quartz, are visible. Some smaller stones have slipped downslope to the S. The surrounding area is cut-away bog. Another cairn (KE093-094003-) lies 11m to the NE. 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
