In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on the lower NE-facing slopes of Knocknaveacal. This burial, which is in the centre of a five-stone circle (KE108-013004-), was excavated and described by Lynch (1981, 66) as a pit containing a cremated burial and covered by a single slab. On analysis, the burial, which was in a primary position, was found to be probably that of an individual aged between 25 and 30 years (ibid.).
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.
