What is recorded here

On the crest of a rocky ridge, overlooking Kenmare Bay. A large stone slab (4.3m x 1.35m; T 0.85m) resting on a smaller stone (1.3m x 0.85m; T 0.7m). The W end of the larger stone rests on the ground while the E end is raised (H 1.6m) above ground level. Immediately to the E of this arrangement is an upright stone (H 0.6m; 1.35m x 0.1m) and two small boulder-type stones (H 0.7m). 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
