What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the W side of the valley of the Dromoghty River. This stone circle (diam. 9.5m) consists of thirteen stones (L 0.8-1.6m; T 0.3-0.6m; H 0.8-1.6m), three of which are prostrate. Only one entrance stone stands and it is radially set on the circumference at E. The axial stone has a flat top and, unusually, it is not the lowest stone in the circle. In the interior of the circle is a centrally placed boulder-burial (KE101-010002-) and 2m S of it is a standing stone (KE101-010003-). (Ó Nualláin 1971, fig. 2, site D; 1984a, 28-9, no. 45) 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
