What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on a S-facing slope. A wedge-shaped chamber (L 3.7m; Wth 1.1m at the E end; Wth 1.35m at the W end), aligned E-W, is closed at the E end by a single backstone. The N and S sides are each composed of three sidestones. The tomb is covered by a single roofstone (2.75m x 1.87m; T 0.3m). A prostrate stone lies immediately to the SW of the tomb. 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
