What is recorded here

At the N side of the road at Kilmakilloge Pier. The Marquis of Lansdowne, writing in 1937, states that 'a pallice was still in existence though not in use at Bunaw in recent times' (Went 1946, 150). This is probably one of the 'fish houses' indicated on a map of Kilmakilloge Harbour in Smith (1756, 74). According to local information, the ruined walls of the fish palace stood at the roadside until recently, a modern house now stands on the site and there are no visible remains of the fish palace. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
