What is recorded here

O'Connell recorded a caher and souterrain at this location (OPW), but he was apparently referring to the stone fort located 210m to SW (KE098-062----). There is, however, a small rectangular depression here, measuring .4m x .55m x .5m deep, the sides of which are revetted by slabs set on edge. A series of earth-embedded boulders occur outside it at W, where there is also a low, ill-defined mound, c. 5m in diameter and .5m high. The nature of this site remains unclear. 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. 1476. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
