What is recorded here

'De Paor (1955, 186) noted a slab (No. 32) standing close to the summit of the islands NE peak' (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 290, no. 948 (83)). The location of the slab was described by De Paor (1955, 186) as follows; 'Roughly cross-shaped slabs also occur beyond the confines of the enclosure; one near the crest of the ridge above the monastery'. This possible cross-slab has not been located. See attached plan of monastery showing the location of Slab No. 32, taken from De Paor 1955, Fig. 2. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 948. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 11 March 2022
