In rough boggy pasture, on a terrace high up on the NE-facing slopes of Barraboy Mountain. This tomb, which protrudes above the surface of the bog, consists of a wedge-shaped chamber (L 2m; Wth 1.5m at the W end), aligned ENE-WSW. Three sidestones at S and a single long sidestone at N support two overlapping roofstones. A single portal stone partially closes the WSW end and a backstone is visible at ENE. A line of low kerbstones (H 0.3m) protrudes from the bog to the N, E and S, that on the N side leaning outwards. Another wedge tomb (KE102-072----) lies c. 500m 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.
