KE106-080---- is located in rough pasture, on the S side of a ridge, overlooking Kenmare Bay to S. It is noted in the OSRNB as a 'small enclosure used for the burial of unbaptized infants', and survives as a rectangular area which measures 20.5m NW-SE x 27.5m NE-SW. It is generally enclosed by modern walls, except at E and S, where it is defined by large slabs set on edge and outcrops of rock, respectively.
O'Connell records a 'fallen gallaun' (KE106-080002-) here (KAS), but it is not clear what he was referring to.
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. 1016. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
