Situated in the SE corner of a field, in sloping pasture which overlooks St Finan's Bay to W, this site is noted in the OSNB as a 'burial place for children here called calluragh' (Kilemlagh, 23). It is preserved as a raised area, c. 14m x c. 12.5m, which is poorly defined at its N and W sides. It rises approximately .4m above surrounding ground level to an uneven upper surface, where much loose stone occurs beneath the heavy sod-cover. A slightly raised area at W features a number of small upright slabs. Rounds were formerly made at this site (Sugrue 1993, 41).
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1025. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
