What is recorded here

In the 1940s 'part of a stone circle' was recorded on the lands of Mr. J. O'Sullivan, Coom (ITA). It consisted of '...nearly a score of small standing stones in a rough semi-circle 60ft [18.28m] in circumference. The tallest is 31/2ft [1.06m] and the smallest, a few inches, over the ground surface. This spot also has the appearance of an old burial place [KE097-053001-].' (ibid.). The precise location of this possible stone circle is not known. 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.
