What is recorded here

In pasture, on the SW-facing slopes of Lacabaun Mountain. This anomalous stone group consists of a rectangular arrangement (long axis NE-SW) of four non-contiguous stone slabs. The NE slab (H 0.8m; 0.7m x 0.1m) is upright and lies parallel to the SW slab (H 1.22m; 1.2m x 0.12m) at a distance of 3.4m. The SW slab is also upright and has a notch carved on its upper surface. The SE slab (H 1.22m; 1m x 0.15m) is upright and has a notch carved on its SW edge while the NW slab (H 0.15m; 0.95m x 0.06m), which is parallel, barely protrudes above the surface of the bog at a distance of 2.9m. 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
