What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on top of a ridge of outcropping rock on a SW-facing slope overlooking Lough Inchiquin. This, the W of two boulder-burials, consists of a flat-topped boulder (1.8m x 1.3m; T 0.8m) resting on four support-stones and two pad-stones. The second boulder-burial (KE101-059001-) stands c. 2m to the E and a standing stone (KE101-059003-) is 2m to the S. 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
