What is recorded here

In a wooded area. Three small plain crosses have been roughly incised by pilgrims on the N face of outcropping rock at the base of which is St Peter's well (KE094-001001-). The easternmost cross (shaft 0.15m; arm 0.17m; D 0.005m) is the smallest and the westernmost cross (shaft 0.25m; arm 0.13m; D 0.15m) is the largest. The crosses show evidence of recent rubbing and there is a small stone beside them for this purpose. 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
