What is recorded here

In rough pasture, beside a road to the NE of Gowlane Lake. A boulder (1.2m x 1.1m; T 0.5m) rests on four support-stones, one of which has an inserted pad-stone to steady the boulder. A second possible boulder-burial (KE109-035003-) stands 1m to the E and there is a standing stone (KE109-035002-) c. 30m to the NW. A series of upright stones (0.35-0.85m H) c. 2m to the E are the remains of a field boundary (KE109-002001-). 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
