What is recorded here

In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded that 'a flat flagstone lies in a field beside the river. It is shaped somewhat like a rough modern gravestone and is about 41/2 ft [1.37m] long by 3ft [0.9m] wide. One side of it is scored hither and over' (KAS). The precise location of this stone is not known and it could be in those parts of Ballagh townland which occur on OS 6-inch maps 95 and 103. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
