In Bonane Heritage Park, on a break on a SW-facing slope. A circle (diam. 10m) of probably thirteen stones, six of which are upright. The stones measure L 0.75-1.55m; T 0.4-0.8m and H 0.8-1.4m. One of the entrance stones at the NNE, a quartz-veined boulder, has fallen. The other entrance stone (1m x 0.8m; H 1.4m) is the tallest stone. The flat-topped axial stone (1.6m x 0.8m; H 0.8m) stands at SSW. A boulder-burial (KE102-032003-) occupies the centre of the interior. A fulacht fia (KE102-032004-) lies c. 25m to the E. 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
