What is recorded here

Internal diam. 17m N-S, 13m E-W This small, roughly circular caher is located in level pasture about 270m SE of KE098-067----. The enclosing wall, 1.5m wide, consists of a rubble core faced internally and externally with drystone masonry. This is poorly preserved, but survives to a maximum height of 1.1m. An entrance, .9m wide, is located at SE. Its sides are flanked with upright slabs, which stand up to .9m high. No features were identified in the overgrown interior, though Henry noted an entrance to a souterrain (KE098-072001-) here (1957, 139). 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. 617. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
